King Lear

Shakespeare’s drama about the vain King Lear, in a sharp, cheerful and nonverbal puppet version for the whole family.

King Lear is old and must share his kingdom between his three daughters. He will do this according to how much they love him. But how do you measure love in Lear’s world? Two bakers who are going to bake Lear’s birthday cake tell the story. In a simple and comic way, they knead, bake, share and serve the drama so that children from age of six can understand.
As in all the Shakespeare’s tragedies, all ends terribly wrong, and Lear finally understand his mistake … that you cannot put a price on love.
