Blackfriars Backstage Pass: KING LEAR

In this edition of the Blackfriars Backstage Pass, American Shakespeare Center resident troupe actors James Keegan (King Lear), Gregory Jon Phelps (Edgar), Alyssa Wilmoth (Cordelia), and Stephen Lorne Williams (Gloucester) join ASC Director of Mission and Mary Baldwin College Shakespeare Professor Dr. Ralph Alan Cohen in a reflective, critical examination of the ASC's current 2008 Summer/Fall Season production of King Lear. Discussions center on the extensive cutting of the script, character choices, and the play's position in Shakespeare's canon.
