lear'S
shadow
A new play by EST Artistic Director Brian Elerding
When tragedy strikes two old friends, they find an unlikely path to recovery through Shakespeare's King Lear.
Part original story, part Lear, Lear's Shadow is a surprisingly fresh take on one of Shakespeare's best plays, as told through the lens of a simple story of friendship overcoming loss.
Starring: David Blue, Fred Cross & Katie Peabody
