Lear’s Daughters Without Lear

Marble Hearts is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s King Lear that will open klpac’s 2016 season, and coincides with the 400th anniversary of the Bard’s passing in 1616. While some continue to debate the relevance of works by dead white men, the local writer-director couldn’t have staged something more timely - begging the question of how loyalty is expressed. We are joined by two of the three female cast members - Christina Orow and Marina Tan.
