About this event

The New Theatre presents the Irish premier of “Lear’s Shadow, Colin Hurley’s one-man take on King Lear.

A man in a dressing gown shuffles in, carrying a box. From the box he pulls the objects, people, mistakes, laughter and regrets that add up to a life. This is an old fool of an actor sniffing around Shakespeare’s great play. This is dreamtime, playtime, clown time. At the end of Shakespeare’s play Lear dies. His last words are “Look, there.” So what happens after you die? Well, that’s where this show starts.

Tickets €25 / conc €22.50
