Nothing can protect you from nothing.

Provocative playwright Young Jean Lee tackles her boldest work to date—a radical and moving response to "King Lear". A Lear-less "Lear" about children turning their backs on their aging fathers, Lee's irreverent tragedy challenges our love of watching terrible things.

Paul Lazar, April Matthis, Okwui Okpokwasili, Pete Simpson & Amelia Workman
