Venue, Timing and Cost
The Crick Crack Club presents live, performance storytelling by Debs Newbold at The Story Museum, Oxford.
Tell me my daughters, which of you...doth love us most?
An old king, afraid to be old.
A daughter abandoned for speaking plainly.
Two sisters warped by ill-treatment.
A kingdom in turmoil.
When Lear resigns his position by dividing his kingdom into three, he puts an outrageous test to his daughters. Their answers are not all that he expected. And what he discovers about himself, he does not wish to know.
Explosive, deeply felt and often uproariously funny, Debs Newbold brings us a bold, compelling and contemporary retelling of a great Shakespearean tragedy that is rooted in folk and fairytale. This is Shakespeare shot from the hip.
