Gardley's update allows audiences to hear the play anew while still finding themselves in the tragic midst of Shakespeare's play. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This translation of \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of \"The Bard\" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print--a new First Folio for a new era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11570829\"\u003eWilliam Shakespeare\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.64h x 4.96w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780866987974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0866987975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-YAF\"\u003eYoung Adult Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-YAF009000\"\u003eClassics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarcus Gardley\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet and playwright.
