A moving and darkly comic interpretation of Shakespeare’s play told from the point of view of Joy, a person with dementia, who is living in an old memory of rehearsing King Lear

Joy’s delicately maintained reality is upended by the arrival of her estranged son who, cast as Cordelia, must find a way to speak his mind from within the role he’s given. 

Critically acclaimed Irish theatre maker Dan Colley’s visually stunning production uses puppetry, projection and live video to create the multiple layers of Joy’s world as past and present, fiction and reality, overlap and distort. 

Lost Lear is a thought-provoking meditation on theatre, artifice and how to communicate across the chasms that divide us. 

With a swathe of five-star reviews and award nominations, this is your opportunity t catch this “brilliantly conceived and executed” (Irish Examiner) show right here in Wellington. 

He mea waihanga te Whakaari nei e te kaitito whakaari rongonui o Airihi, a Dan Colley. Ka whakamahia ngā keretao, ngā hopunga ataata, me te kiriata mataora, e kitea ai te ao o Joy, tana anamata, tana ōnamata, te tūturu, me te paki.
