About the Play

Collaging King Lear, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, As You Like It and several other of Shakespeare’s plays, Bryan Reynolds and composer Michael Hooker conjure up an epically stormy night in which love and romance blow in with the wind and the rain, turning Leopold Wallersheim’s world inside out. Used to living with only his faithful singing poodle and his antique furniture collection for company, misanthropic Leopold finds himself in a strange new world of alternately thrilling and terrifying emotions.
