​King Lear
Chicago Shakespeare Theatre
Fall 2014

"Larry Yando should, by any reckoning, be  an internationally renowned star ."  - CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

“Mr. Yando is well known to Chicago playgoers for his fearlessly forthright acting. Even for him, though, this is a career-clinching performance, noteworthy not just for its unflagging intensity (he is fully as potent in the first half of the play as he is after intermission) but also for its textured complexity... Nevertheless, it is Mr. Yando who will fill you with awe. If he were a TV star, this ”Lear“ would go straight from Chicago to Broadway and run for a year. It should anyway.”

"This Lear is a Yando tour de force." - CHICAGO TRIBUNE
