Stephen Collins and Poornima Kirby To Perform King Lear

Join actors Stephen Collins and Poornima Kirby for a haunting, darkly funny adaptation of Shakespeare’s timeless classic King Lear. The performance will take place on Thursday, March 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the Concord Free Public Library, 129 Main Street.

Please register HERE.

This one-hour production draws directly from Shakespeare’s text, with Stephen Collins as the mercurial King Lear, and Poornima Kirby as his devoted, clear-eye fool, who narrates the action, and flows fluidly between Lear’s daughters, friends, enemies.

This artistic adaptation honors the beautiful essence of the play, while bringing fresh life and a playful twist to its timeless questions of mortality, loyalty, and the parent-child bond.

This performance is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library.
