Description

Lear’s Fool is about the intrigues behind the intrigues in Shakespeare’s King Lear. With a clear nod to the Bard, Tom Stoppard and chaos theory, Lear’s Fool follows the machinations of the Fool, Edmund, Edgar and others in this backstory to King Lear.



Lear’s Fool is a full length two act play where the ideas of influence and power are explored and exploited in a political world just outside the eyes and ears of King Lear.

The story is set up when King Lear chooses the Fool, the child of Lear’s now deceased and beloved steward, to be the court fool. The Fool, who has been sent to study abroad with Edgar and Edmund and has absorbed as much knowledge as he could get his hands on, determines that the wonderful gift of existing in this world of power cannot be squandered. He believes he can influence the fates of those around him and that of his country even though he holds no power of his own whatsoever.
