Lear

Jester Collective is delighted to present Lear, an intimate and intense re-imagined version of The Tragedy of King Lear by William Shakespeare.

In this re-imagined version of King Lear, perhaps Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, Lear is the story of an aging queen, who, after failing to get the show of devotion she expects from her three daughters, divides her kingdom, destroys her family, and banishes those closest to her leaving her kingdom in ruins.

This inspiring ensemble of actors has come together to tell a story that captures humanity's indulgence in self-destruction. Jester Collective strives to support actors in honing their craft as aspiring talent or as veterans returning to the industry in order to gain valuable experience and insights into the world of acting. Together, we aim to elevate skills to an exceptional standard.
