Like any Shakespeare play, King Lear has been adapted countless times, but LEAR does things differently.
LEAR is an all-female and non-binary production from Manchester-based feminist theatre collective Unseemly Women. The company's fourth annual Shakespeare, its four-night run at Prescot's Shakespeare North Playhouse came to an end on Saturday (June 24).
The plot begins as the aging monarch looks to divide his kingdom between his three daughters - Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. The way in which Lear decides his succession will depend on how his daughters declare their love for him.
