King Lear
On a ten-city cross-country tour, California's Independent Eye presents an unique vision of William Shakespeare's KING LEAR. Played out by two actors within the confines of an aluminum cage, King Lear and The Fool are accompanied by 28 life-sized, hand, and finger puppets operated by actors and master puppeteers Conrad Bishop and Elizabeth Fuller. Lear is the puppeteer of his own puppet show. In his mind, he is the only real human in his motherless kingdom, where love is merchandise for barter. As Lear obsessively plays out his loss of family, power, friendship, shelter, sanity, and hope, The Fool  an acid clown  stage-manages his story until they both succumb to Lear's madness. This stunning two-person take on Shakespeare's KING LEAR puts an ingenious spin on The Bard's tragic tale of power and distortion of love.  A five-minute trailer may be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ8Vjd_eaI8 .
