About this event

It’s an accessible approach to the story of an aging monarch dividing her kingdom among her children with surprising results. Renowned actress Franchelle S.
Dorn plays Lear, with Marc Pouhé as the Fool and Helen Merino as Cordelia. Dorn’s real-life daughters, Amani and Mary Dorn, play her children Goneril and Regan. Modern costumes have medieval touches by Aaron Kubacak.
