King Lear: Children's Show












The purpose of this blog is basically what you see above you: a place to post pictures of productions and comment/discuss them. Ideas such as costume designs, set designs, lighting designs, and many other elements can all be gotten from this blog.

This was a show I participated in last semester (Winter 2007). It was a children's production of King Lear. We cut it down to about an hour (a narrator was used heavily), and used puppets and live cello music. We toured around Utah Valley all last semester. Every Tuesday and Thursday we went to a different elementary or middle school. Our set was basically a curtain for the background and two stools, one for the narrator and one for me (Lear's Fool who played the cello as well). It was a fabulous experience, and something I would highly recommend, if you ever get the chance.

I'm reading King Lear in my Shakespeare class right now. That's awesome that you presented it to little kids, and that, from the looks of it, they like it!
