Queen Lear

In a reimagined adaptation of Shakespeare's "King Lear", a peasant woman takes on the role of "Queen Lear" as she travels through the rugged and isolated villages of Turkey's mountains, where access to even basic necessities like drinking water is scarce.

A peasant-women theatre group in Turkey reimagines Shakespeare's "King Lear" in a remote, water-scarce mountain setting, where the dusty roads and harsh conditions add a new layer of vulnerability to the classic tale.
