"An aggressive adaptation of Shakespeare’s play, this production utilizes his words, frenzied movement set to original beat-driven music and new text culled from interviews with residents of the Lillian Booth/Actors Fund Assisted Living Facility," press notes state. "Old Sound Room Lear explores generational division and asks the questions: What do we owe our elders, what might they owe us, and what can we learn from one another?"
The creative team includes Gina Noele Odierno (stage manager) and Jessica Rizzo (dramaturg).
Old Sound Room, founded by 12 colleagues from the Yale School of Drama, makes live experiential performance incorporating music, movement and the dynamic adaptation of classical and modern texts.
