King Lear, Presented by Gordon Tootoosis Nikaniwin Theatre (GTNT)

Co-Directed by Bob Wicks & Jennifer Dawn Bishop.

King Lear decides it's time to divide his kingdom between his three daughters. A trusted advisor to Lear, The Earl of Gloucester, brings his bastard son back to court after a nine-year absence.

Lear battles the nature without and within him, while Gloucester endures the cost of helping the King. Full of deception and disguises, our reimagining of Shakespeare's literary masterpiece will be presented trilingually, with characters speaking Cree, French, and English without the use of sur/subtitles.
