Lear at Red Tape Theatre - St. Peter's Episcopal Church

Chicago Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"..."It's on you to figure things out," the play might as well be saying (which is true of life, as well) but the play also has the chutzpah to have a character break the fourth wall and pose a question to the audience that some may have already been asking themselves: "Is this really what you want to be doing with your life? Being here?""

Time Out Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...The visual aesthetic of James D. Palmer's Chicago premiere departs from Lee's own premiere at New York's Soho Rep, which employed a baroque throne-room set and period costumes. Here, Edmund, Edgar, Regan, Goneril and Cordelia (yes, she survives in this version) lounge around a contemporary McMansion that looks like the morning after a teenage rager, strewn with abandoned red cups and beer bottles. The younger generation lazily peruses fashion magazines and iPads and registers, without quite reflecting upon, its shallowness and narcissism, only occasionally thinking of their parents' fates outside in the storm."
