About
THE SHADOW KING
CO-CREATED BY Tom E. Lewis & Michael Kantor
DIRECTED BY Michael Kantor
The greatest of all epics about nation, is finally an epic about our nation.
Bringing together the country’s finest creative talents including performers Tom E. Lewis (The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith) and Jimi Bani (Mabo) this majestic and physical reworking of Shakespeare’s King Lear employs the timeless tragedy to speak to the history and current circumstances of Indigenous Australia.
The Shadow King cast also includes Jada Alberts, Selwyn Burns, Frances Djulibing, Jida Gulpilil, Rarriwuy Hick, Damion Hunter, Kamahi Djordon King, Natasha Wanganeen and Bart Willoughby.
Working across cultures and generations, The Shadow King is an unmissable theatre of a scale and significance to match the land upon which it is made.
Catch The Shadow King at Sydney festival in January 2014.
