KING LEAR
by William Shakespeare

Prepare to be swept into one of Shakespeare’s most powerful tragedies, where family and power collide in a tale of betrayal, madness, and redemption.

As the aging King Lear decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, he sets off a chain of events that spirals into chaos.

What begins as a quest to secure his legacy turns into a tragic exploration of loyalty, love, and the consequences of blind ambition.

With visceral emotions and unforgettable characters, King Lear lays bare the complex ties that bind family members together—and tear them apart.

Witness Lear’s heartbreaking descent and the fateful decisions that echo across generations.

This timeless masterpiece will resonate deeply with anyone who has ever experienced the fragile balance of love and power within a family.
