We’ve invited Actors From the London Stage back to Spokane because we loved their 2024 Hamlet, and we love the concept. Five actors without elaborate sets or fancy costumes lay bare Shakespeare’s play to its essence: raw human themes, poetic words, and dramatic actions. The text is the profound tragedy of King Lear, in which greed and cruelty bring destruction, and in this tragic world, love, empathy, and loyalty are our only defense.
