ENTER QUEEN LEAR
, written by me,starred Jenny Runacre in the production which ran for 3 weeks at the Drayton
Arms Theatre, London, from September 13th to October 2nd 2016.
An
ageing, glamorous film star falls in love with a younger man, a refugee. Now,
past her cast-by-date, she accepts to play Lear as a woman just to act again.
Throughout rehearsals, she is confronted by the men in her life – two
ex-husbands, two sons and the younger lover. Her only real constant is her
relationship with her long time female dresser.Jenny Runacre said: “I do really think it is a fascinating play, with so many levels in it. It is not very often that an actress is given a role that has so much meat in it.”
If you want to listen to the play, I adapted it for the radio and you can hear it by clicking on the link below.
