Cordelia
Cordelia
… is a stunning Noh adaptation by playwright Erik Ehn of Shakespeare's "King Lear" as told by from his exiled daughter Cordelia's viewpoint, from the other world.
… this Theatre of Yugen's production is not to be missed. As in Zen and other Japanese and Asian philosophies, one does not expect a beginning, middle or end. Things flow. One must simply observe and allow the story or composition to unfold. Gaetana Caldwell-Smith
