About
Four Forty Theatre are back with Shakespeare's Weightiest Tragedy!
Mad kings, treacherous daughters, and storm-brewing chaos! Four Forty Theatre’s fast-paced King Lear: The Comedy is silly, energetic, and packed with laughs for all ages.
Four Forty Theatre bring King Lear to life with mischief, madness, and plenty of slapstick mayhem. Divided kingdoms collapse, scheming sisters squabble, and one very grumpy king braves a dramatic storm. Packed with energy and imagination, this joyful production makes Shakespeare’s tragedy fun for everyone.
Feuding sisters plot, dramatic banishments unfold, and a tempestuous king rants into the storm — all delivered at a relentless pace. Celebrated for their playful dismantling of tradition and fearless physical humour, Four Forty breathe fresh mischief into Shakespeare’s weightiest text. The result is part affectionate homage, part riotous reinvention: clever, chaotic, and utterly alive. Where other troupes tread with caution, Four Forty prove that no one else dares take on this famous tragedy and bring it so hilariously to life.
