Lear AND Fool???

from Reduced Shakespeare Company Podcast

In his own personal Year of Lear, Daniel Mothershed (above) is playing both King Lear and the Fool in the Bowls With The Bard production of King Lear, immediately after directing the second production of Austin Tichenor's adaptation of Christopher Moore's novel Fool. Daniel discusses this experiment with theatrical duality; how the RSC Podcast interview with famous Fool Adrian Scarborough unlocked Daniel’s interpretation (plus appreciation for the even deeper cut of this "Drawing on Shakespeare" conversation); shout-outs to previous Lears; and the potential danger of playing both roles driving you genuinely mad. (Length 24:40) The post Lear AND Fool??? appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.
