King Lear

Armed with only a drum, a guitar, a knife and a chair, this inventive, irreverent and highly accessible one-man adaptation is presented to you from the point of view of LEARs long suffering and ever-loyal fool. The bastard Edmund, haughty Goneril, poor deluded Gloucester, oily Oswald, sweet Cordelia, mad Tom all the characters from this sad and sorry tale brought to glorious life in a fast paced, funny, poignant and ultimately heartbreaking production. Adapted & performed by Paul Morel and directed by John Mowat with all of Oddbodies trademark physical ingenuity and visual flair, this is an unmissable reworking of one of Shakespeares most brilliant plays. First seen at the 2019 Brighton Fringe Festival, this five star production has toured all over the UK and to Europe. This Spring it will be travelling North to Blackpool, Dunoon, Girvan, Paisley, St Andrews, Ardross, Birnam and Blackburn.
