The One that got away: Nearly Lear at the New Vic
Every once in a while there is a show that I’ve been meaning to see, that I want to see, that I planned to see, and somehow I miss seeing it. Such was the case with the New Victory’s production of NEARLY LEAR, a one woman portrayal of the story of King Lear as seen from the Fool’s perspective.
But with one thing leading to another, I somehow managed to miss it.
Of course, the NYT raved about it
There’s a bunch of other great shows coming up (and some are, predictably, at the New Vic also)Â Hopefully I won’t miss those.
Check out Susanna Hamnett’s website to see what other fine critics thought of the show.
Here’s a taste from the video. It looks great. Maybe I’ll get to see it next time it’s in town (or I’m in its town)
Ow! I missed it too!
We met Susanna at IPAY and saw a live preview of the work. She’s brilliant and lovely.
