Lear Redux

Odyssey Theatre presents Lear Redux as part of its 2025 season
A Tragic Fantasia inspired by the play King Lear by William Shakespeare 

This world premiere production is adapted by John Farmanesh-Bocca

Acclaimed and prolific stage actor Jack Stehlin stars in Lear Redux, a bold, surprising, and whimsical adaptation of King Lear, directed and adapted by Physical Theatre impresario John Farmanesh-Bocca. Renowned for their celebrated collaborations on Farmanesh-Bocca’s REDUX series—including Tempest Redux (winner of Stage Raw’s Production of the Year and Broadway World’s Production of the Decade for LA regional theater)—Lear Redux reunites the Odyssey Theatre, The New American Theatre, and Not Man Apart – Physical Theatre Ensemble to present Shakespeare’s preeminent drama of family, power, humanity, grief, and acceptance.
