Auriga Productions presents its inaugural production of William Shakespeare's epic opus, King Lear, set in early Christian Britain.
King Lear is the politically resonant, timeless, and searing story of an aging monarch, a kingdom divided and a family in turmoil. Lear’s decision to divide his kingdom among his three daughters ignites a firestorm of greed and betrayal. Displaced as king and cast out as patriarch, Lear discovers the fragility of familial bonds as he descends into madness.
One of Shakespeare’s most epic tragedies, the story will keep audiences glued to their seats with its soaring language, moving poetry, and iconic characters.
Under the direction of Bert Pigg, this staging of Richard III reimagines one of Shakespeare’s most notorious villains through a contemporary lens - one that celebrates diversity, provokes dialogue, and refuses to shy away from controversy.
In this interpretation, Richard III becomes more than a tale of ambition and deceit; it becomes a mirror reflecting today’s debates about power and representation. The production features a cast that breaks traditional casting conventions, with actors of diverse backgrounds embodying characters once confined to narrow expectations.
