Not one, but three productions about Shakespeare's King Lear, questioning the production of Lear itself. Singaporean visual artist and film-maker Ho Tzu Nyen turns theatre maker in this intriguing trilogy which has as its starting point three well-known critical texts on Lear by Marvin Rosenberg, Jonathan Goldberg and Wilson Knight.
