More About William Shakespeare's Lear presented by Chicago Street Theatre
LEAR
(Based on King Lear by William Shakespeare)
Directed by guest artist
Andrea J. Dymond
From the Director:
“[King] Lear is a play about family and power, fear and jealousy; love and betrayal; loyalty and loss. I’m interested in examining how all these things land, when explored through the lens of a matriarchal society. How do stings of the curses and betrayals differ, when slung among Lear and her daughters? Though Gloucester is betrayed and saved by the actions of his sons, do the juxtaposition of their actions, their loyalties, grasping and losses resonate differently alongside service to a Queen? Beyond the differences within the families, the journey of this LEAR will be to see what will be discovered in the larger body politic of the society within the play and without.

More About Chicago Street Theatre
Chicago Street Theatre is proud to produce live theatre for Valparaiso and the greater Northwest Indiana region. After over 4 decades in residence at Memorial Opera House, our award-winning theatre company began a new chapter of its history in 1997 when we purchased the Chicago Street Theatre, located at 154 West Chicago Street in Valparaiso, Indiana. The theatre underwent an extensive renovation completed February 1, 2008. The theatre lobby, auditorium, and bathrooms were re-designed by the Chicago firm Morris Architects, and construction was expertly managed by Winona Lake Restoration. The intimate 130-seat theatre features stadium seating that makes it an incredible space to enjoy live theatre.
