Artistic Director Emily Mattina's King Lear explores the choices we make for our children and family as well as the overall welfare of children: physically, emotionally, and educationally. We explore the essence of blindness, both literally and figuratively, to our own actions, consequences and blessings. Dr. David Richman, published author, actor, director, and professor at The University of New Hampshire, stars as King Lear. Dr. Richman's real-life blindness gives a literal portrayal of the "blindness" in his character. This signature Shakesperience should not be missed!
Shakesperience strives to bring thought-provoking, relevant, theatre, rich in music, poetry, art and ideas, to our Downtown. The 10th annual (and possibly final) Shakespeare in Library Park serves as a platform for significant issues facing our society and as a cultural and economic generator for our region. Waterbury's annual Shakespeare Festival will also include an encore performance of The Reluctant Dragon and student performance of Waterbury Interactive: Our City, Our Neighborhoods.
