When Annie and Peter decide to adopt, they set their sights on a child from Africa. But just how much of Africa are they willing to bring into their home? Long-buried secrets surface, surprising new tensions with old friends arise, and their marriage is put to the test — all in the face of one startling choice. With keen acumen, this portrait of cultural divide casts global issues into the heart of an American home.

When a contentious, self centered, fading rock star (Oran Tobin) gets an ultimatum from his girlfriend to attend his estranged father’s wake to purge the life infiltrating hate and resentment he feels toward the man or the couple’s relationship is over, the last thing he expects to happen is to be held captive in a small, virtually deserted Newfoundland fishing station, by an odd but lovable group of locals. There he learns a bit about his family’s history and heritage, his fathers deep love for him and eventually, the truth regarding why the man disappeared suddenly so many years ago.

In this poetic and visceral song cycle, Shakespeare’s darkly tragic King Lear is distilled to its musical essence. Movement, words and choral songs performed in Latin, Polish and English render the iconic story of a man who loses everything that defines him. In 12 compelling episodes that each conveys a crucial scene from the play, this musical exploration of the text elevates melody to become the embodiment of character, relationships and drama. Songs of Lear, created and performed by the multi-award-winning Polish theater company Song of the Goat Theatre, took top honors in the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Join the artists for a conversation with the audience following the performance.

Tickets: General Public $25, Student/Youth $10, NextLEVEL $20. By tickets here.
