Flaws and all, there's an urgency and a joyous, subversive spirit throughout King Lear. Directed by the adapter, the actors are ferociously committed to the raw physicality of the piece. The show's sensibility is that of a massive middle finger gleefully flipped in the face of tyrants. Recommended. (read Catey Sullivan's entire review...)
