Lost Lear returns!🎉👏
After its sell-out run as part of #DTF22, Lost Lear by @dangcolley is going on tour in venues across Ireland, and is returning to @projectartscentre on the 10-11 Nov.
Didn’t get to see it last year? Now’s your chance!
—
A moving and darkly comic remix of Shakespeare’s play told from the point of view of Joy, a person with dementia, who is living in an old memory of rehearsing ‘King Lear’. Joy’s delicately maintained reality is upended by the arrival of her estranged son who, being cast as Cordelia, must find a way to speak his piece from within the limited role he’s given.
Using puppetry, projection and live video effects, the audience are landed in Joy’s world as layers of her past and present, fiction and reality, overlap and distort.
‘Lost Lear’ is a thought provoking meditation on theatre, artifice and the possibility of communicating across the chasms between us.
Tour co-produced with Riverbank and Mermaid Arts Centres and supported by the Arts Council.
