King Lear by Shakespeare at Notre Dame

Taking place at DeBartolo Performing Arts Center August 19-31, King Lear is brought to life by the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival's Professional Company for the very first time. As an aging king seeks to divide his kingdom amongst his three daughters, the forces of jealousy, blindness, and madness threaten his reign -- and the future of not just his country, but his family. Shakespeare's King Lear is one of the playwright's greatest creations: a powerful tale of loss, memory, insanity, and the importance of love.
