A new translation of Shakespeare's great tragedy that renews it for
today's audiences. Marcus Gardley's translation of King Lear renews
the language of one of Shakespeare's most frequently staged
tragedies for a modern audience. Gardley's update allows audiences
to hear the play anew while still finding themselves in the tragic
midst of Shakespeare's play. This translation of King Lear was
written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On!
project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine
Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of "The
Bard" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing
the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a
diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and
dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions
Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these
works available for the first time in print-a new First Folio for a
new era.
