A Tale for Parents Who Won't Listen to Their Kids☒Cordelia, a girl of today, plays alone in her father’s office. She has to learn a poem for a school performance, but both stepping onto the stage and memorizing a poem that would make her father proud frighten her.
Jester, her imaginary friend, brings back the world of William Shakespeare, and “The Story of King Lear” becomes a possible mirror of parent-child relationships—one from which Cordelia has much to learn.
A touching performance in which imagination transforms fear into a story about courage and fragile bonds.
