(Photo by Jason Williams)

The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing
Arts presents a radical reinvention of Shakespeare’s KING LEAR, starring Emmy® Award and
NAACP Image Award winner Joe Morton (ABC’s “Scandal,” the legendary Brother from Another
Planet, Netflix’s “The Politician,” Justice League) and directed by John Gould Rubin, opening
Saturday, May 14 and running through Sunday, June 5, 2022, in The Wallis’ Bram Goldsmith
Theater. This theatrically adventurous production of perhaps the greatest play in English
literature features original music, videos, and projections that will transform the theater into a
not–too–distant–future United States ravaged by environmental catastrophes. Taken from the press release.
