Introducing...King Lear

Marcus Gardley’s translation of KING LEAR is set in a San Francisco where anything can happen at any moment, where madness is barely constrained beneath the brittle veneer of gentrification and homes are kingdoms taken merely for granted. Infused with a jazz score that evolves in time with Lear’s decline, Next Chapter’s Play On podcast series is a harrowing journey into the essence of life, death, love and loss. Episode 1 out Friday, February 11. The Play On Podcast series, “KING LEAR”, was translated into modern English verse by MARCUS GARDLEY and directed by ERIC TING.  The Play On Podcast Series “CORIOLANUS” is produced by NEXT CHAPTER PODCASTS and is made possible by the generous support of THE HITZ FOUNDATION.
