The Logger Lear
Featuring award-winning actor Donald Forrest in the title role, Longshadr presents THE LOGGER LEAR. THE LOGGER LEAR will be a raucous event, replete with live music and original songs, that is very looooooosely based on Shakespeare’s King Lear. This is comedy with raw edges and a heart of pure gold. It is physical and funny, with more than a dash of mayhem and poignancy. THE LOGGER LEAR also includes a bar fight, a bastard, special guest appearances by Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, Biscuit the bar dog - and you can order a drink at any time during the show (but try not to snort it out your nostrils onto the performers). The LOGGER LEAR is a true theater of place work. Theatre inspired by the landscape, people and themes of this place now. The titular Terry Lear is pondering on his legacy, what he’s leaving behind to his daughters - and to the world. Who loves him the most? Does anyone care about his life’s work, his “kingdom” in this place? And, most importantly, what should he do with the time he has left? The answer? Hold a wake while all the options are still in play … This unique theatre experience will seat only 50 people at each performance. The action will take place in and among the audience in the bar and runs for around an hour. Tickets are available at Eventbrite.com (search for Logger Lear) and you’re encouraged to buy tickets early, as this will sell out. Written and directed by Michael Fields, THE LOGGER LEAR features Donald Forrest as Lear, world-class tenor David Powell as Happy the Fool, Isabel Semler (Regan), Alex Blouin (Goneril), and Shawn Wagner(Cordelia) as Lear’s daughters, Ben Clifton as Wilmer Raaadom of the Fortuna Raandoms, the county health inspector, Evan Grande as Mike the bastard lawyer, Jeff Landen as a singing ghost, and our incomparable band: Marla Joy, Tim Randles, Jeff Kelley, and Mike Labolle. Original songs are by Tim Randles and Jeff Kelley, fight choreography is by Jesse March, and scenography by Lynnie Horrigan. Michael Foster is the light designer.
