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. New episodes are released weekly.
