The North American premier of “LOST LEAR”, by Irish writer/director Dan Colley,
will be at Villanova University’s Mullen Performing Arts Center February 13th – 15th.
Lost Lear tells the story of Joy, a retired actor with dementia, who is reliving her memories of rehearsing the Shakespearean tragedy. A nursing home resident, Joy is cared for by staff who recreate her happy memories to maintain a delicate sense of reality. However, her world is upended by the arrival of her estranged son. With Joy’s memory casting him as the character of Cordelia from the play, he must find a way to speak his piece within the limited role he is given.
