Nearly Lear
Susanna Hamnett, Ontario

Adapted from Shakespeare by Susanna Hamnett and Edith Tankus
Performed by Susanna Hamnett, Directed by Edith Tankus

"A frisky, funny, tantalising introduction to the life-long pleasures of Shakespeare." New York Times

What if the great story of King Lear was told by his closest companion? In this one-woman tour de force, actress Susanna Hamnett plays the Fool - and every other character - to tell a very personal and poignant story that borrows from the words of "that guy William Shakespeare." Susanna braves the most savage storm in English literature with breathtaking hilarity and heartache, honoring the beautiful language of Lear while taking a bit of poetic license.
