In its second production this season at the Lansburgh Theatre, Synetic will present the seventh play in its “Silent Shakespeare” series, an adaptation of one of the greatest tragedies of all time – King Lear. Helen Hayes Award-winning actor Irakli Kavsadze plays the title role of the aging king whose test of his daughters’ love undoes the fabric of his kingdom. The bloody conflict that ensues is interwoven with a tale of loyalty, love, hate and redemption.
