Running time is 80 minutes without an interval Learlike tells the much-loved story of King Lear through the perspective of his daughters. These tireless tyrant-children are fresh in power, but old in their ways of manipulation and deceit. Or are they? For even in the most corrupted homes, the roots of resistance grow deep. Be govern’d by your knowledge, and proceed I’ th’ sway of your own will. - Cordelia (4.7) Greensleeved is a female-led European ensemble formed of Amber Frances (Belgium), Ariela Nazar-Rosen (Poland/US), Lucy Doig (Scotland), Julia Vredenberg (Norway), and Cecilia Thoden van Velzen (The Netherlands). After their studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, they formed their company with a mission to remake classical work through a contemporary female lens. Learlike should be the first of many.
