The Esteemed Reymundo Lear is retiring from running his fried chicken empire and plans to pass on his three restaurants to daughters, Gisela, Raquel, and Cordelia ... until Cordelia falls out of favor. What will happen next? What of Rey's old friend Gilberto and his feuding sons Edwardo and Edmundo? Will Rey ever be served his lunch? You'll have to wait for the rest of the delicious story to be told by the foolish narrator, Jeff.

El Rey del Pollo puts a family-friendly spin on Shakespeare’s King Lear, using Elizabethan verse, Spanglish, and today’s vernacular to make an hour-long Shakespearean telenovela for the stage.
