I Don't Think You're Ready for This Vile Jelly: King Lear and Spark, reviewed.
Chris Klimek
Joseph Marcell and Bethan Cullinane in King Lear (Ellie Kurttz).
My review of the Globe Theater's stripped-down touring production of King Lear -- the play that inspired Ira Glass to proclaim "Shakespeare sucks"! -- is in today's Washington City Paper. I also reviewed Theatre Alliance's production of Caridad Svich's Spark.
FURTHER READING: I reviewed Synetic Theatre's wordless King Lear in 2011. And I interviewed Ira Glass, who was and remains one of my heroes, in April 2008.
