King Lear: Reason in Madness - a podcast by Kari Herrera and Alexis Honoria

SURPRISE! It's a bonus episode!!!

Today, we want to share an exciting preview of a Shakespeare podcast we think you will enjoy: Play On Podcasts! 

Each episode explores plays from Macbeth to A Midsummer Night's Dream in a way anyone can easily understand, created by some of America's most captivating playwrights, directors, and composers and performed by awarded stage and screen actors. This preview features the one and only Keith David. You know him from classic films such as Barbershop, Disney's Hercules and The Princess and the Frog, and Greenleaf, the television show Community and the list goes on. 

 

This is the first episode of Play On Podcasts!'s King Lear series, where Marcus Gardley sets his translation of King Lear in San Francisco. Here, anything can happen at any moment, and madness is barely constrained beneath the brittle veneer of gentrification. Infused with a jazz score that evolves in time with Lear's decline, this is a harrowing journey into the essence of life, death, love, and loss. 

 

Here's the first episode of King Lear. Enjoy!
