King Lear at the Greenbelt Arts Center, Aug 22-Sep 6

King Lear at the Greenbelt Arts Center, Aug 22-Sep 6

The Rude Mechanicals in residence at Greenbelt Arts Center presents:
King Lear
by William Shakespeare
directed by Claudia Bach

August 22 – September 6, 2025

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

In the mid-twentieth century, King Lear and his family are in a close but crumbling family structure. What seemed stable, grounded in family expectations, slowly collapses around them, along with their abilities, perceptions of the world, and even their identities. This American gothic tale will take these characters from privilege to tragedy through their failure to see each other clearly until it is too late.

Lanford Wilson’s The Hot L Baltimore introduces us to a memorable cast of characters residing in a crumbling Baltimore hotel, their lives as frayed as the lobby’s worn carpet. A young prostitute named “the Girl” plies her trade, while Mr. Morse, a bewildered old man, yearns for a visit from his estranged daughter. With the hotel’s demolition looming, they and the other residents grapple with an uncertain future. Wilson masterfully blends humor and pathos, as seen in the scene where the residents, facing eviction, share a makeshift meal, finding solace and fleeting joy in their shared predicament. This play feels especially relevant today, as America seems increasingly unwilling to address the needs of its most vulnerable citizens. The struggles of the residents of the Hot L Baltimore serve as a mirror to contemporary issues like homelessness, poverty, and the growing gap between the haves and have-nots.
