Oddbodies present ‘King Lear’

Oddbodies’ highly acclaimed One man KING LEAR coming to UIG HALL, DUNOON.

Tickets available from Bookpoint

‘Oddbodies’ one man King Lear is something of a miniature masterpiece… a brilliantly
entertaining, and frequently astonishing evening. A tour de force of physical theatre…’
@Christopher James, Poet

Armed with only a drum, a guitar, a knife and a chair, this inventive, irreverent and highly
accessible one-man adaptation is presented to you from the point of view of LEAR’s long
suffering and ever-loyal fool.

The bastard Edmund, haughty Goneril, poor deluded Gloucester, oily Oswald, sweet
Cordelia, mad Tom – all the characters from this sad and sorry tale brought to glorious life
in a fast paced, funny, poignant and ultimately heartbreaking production.

Adapted & performed by Paul Morel and directed by John Mowat with all of Oddbodies’
trademark physical ingenuity and visual flair, this is an unmissable reworking of one of
Shakespeare’s most brilliant plays.

First seen at the 2019 Brighton Fringe Festival, this five star production has toured all over
the UK and to Europe. This Spring it will be travelling North to Blackpool, Dunoon, Girvan,
Paisley, St Andrews, Ardross, Birnam and Blackburn
