Theatre Rhinoceros — San Francisco’s Live Professional Queer Theater

Lear! is Shakespeare’s King Lear with the various locales in the park serving as the playing area.

Shakespeare’s play is reduced to ninety-minutes and traverses the plains of Yerba Buena Gardens as it tells the exciting and heart-breaking story of one man’s attempt to divide his kingdom and his family’s gut wrenching struggle for power and love. This is not a musical, it is not  farce, it is Lear! – with Shakespeare’s original text – performed like you’ve never seen it before.
