A celebrated Shakespearean actor returns to the stage, determined to seize his final and greatest role: King Lear. Alone under the lights, he summons thunderous verse, relives past triumphs, and hears the voices of those who shaped his life. At first commanding and witty, he seems every bit the master of his craft, but as the rehearsal unfolds, the cracks begin to show.

 

Memory falters, bravado wavers, and the line between performance and reality blurs. Both funny and heartbreaking, this intimate solo piece is a love letter to Shakespeare and a moving exploration of family, legacy, and the fragile brilliance of a life spent on stage.

Audiences will laugh, reflect, and be deeply moved by one man’s last stand in the spotlight.
