Lost Lear

Dublin Theatre Festival: DAN COLLEY, RIVERBANK ARTS CENTRE AND MERMAID ARTS CENTRE, IRELAND present

28 September - 8 October 2022

An image of a person comprised of mix match images of different faces, flowers and plants. They wear a crown.
All at once fast-paced and thought-provoking, Lost Lear lands us into the world of Joy, a woman with dementia, who is being cared for through a method where people live inside an old memory.

All at once fast-paced and thought-provoking, Lost Lear lands us into the world of Joy, a woman with dementia, who is being cared for through a method where people live inside an old memory.

Following the national and international tour of A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings, Dan Colley and his company have turned their sights on a very (very) loose adaptation of King Lear, examining the self and that part of us that's inaccessible to others.

“Who is it that can tell me who I am?”
— King Lear, Act I Scene IV

Ages 14+. Contains flashing lights. Please note there is an added booking fee of €1.50 on all full-price Dublin Theatre Festival events.
