Lear – Oddbodies – Sterts
26 September @ 7:30 pm

‘Oddbodies’ one man King Lear is something of a miniature masterpiece… a brilliantly entertaining, and frequently astonishing evening. A tour de force of physical theatre…’ @Christopher James, POET
Armed with only a drum, a guitar, a knife and a chair, this inventive, irreverent and highly accessible one-man adaptation is presented to you from the point of view of LEAR’s long suffering and ever-loyal fool.
The bastard Edmund, haughty Goneril, poor deluded Gloucester, oily Oswald, sweet Cordelia, mad Tom – all the characters from this sad and sorry tale brought to glorious life in this fast paced, funny, poignant and ultimately heartbreaking production.
Adapted & performed by Paul Morel and directed by John Mowat with all of Oddbodies’ trademark physical ingenuity and visual flair, this is an unmissable reworking of one of Shakespeare’s most brilliant plays.
Sturrock Studio, Sterts Arts and Environmental Centre, Upton Cross, Friday 26th September at 7.30pm
