Rather than talk about the show (there are reviews all over the place), here are a few images from KING LEAR at the Shakespeare theatre.

The Stocking of Kent. I'm kneeling, holding the irascible Project Manager of Shanghai Low Theatricals, Mr. Steve Pickering.

The Gouging of Gloucester's Eyes, with Chris Genebach, Kate Arington, Ed Gero, and yours truly. Sadly, there's no shot of me in my frilly apron.

Jonno Roberts as Edmund. Me, just before I go murder Cordelia.

And the man himself, as this generation's definitive LEAR.
