“How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!” 
 

Nearing retirement age, Lear must divide her estate between her three daughters. After years of being flattered and lied to, she has misjudged who has her good intentions at heart. This fatal mistake sends her into the arms of those who seek to harm her and away from her youngest daughter, Cordelia, who truly cares for her. Only through trials and tribulations does Lear realize her wrong choice, after she has already been driven to madness.  TSF's production stars Festival favorite Sasha Hildebrand in the iconic role of Lear, giving a feminine spin to one of William Shakespeare's most epic tragedies.
