Dramaturgical note
There seems to be no better moment for King Lear, considering it was a play that emerged right after the plague in London, killing over 30,000 people, not unfamiliar to the times we live in now. And coming from such a period of instability, this is perhaps the right time and place to recognize the direct correlation between wealth, power and privilege to violence, betrayal and madness. So, through this production we questioned why violence is chosen when it only begets more violence; what forces us into madness; what truly blinds us; and how far we’ll go for power.
- Asta Trivedi
