- Book Synopsis
- Set seven years before King Lear, Erin Shields' play puts Lear's daughters centre stage as they negotiate the patriarchal systems built to keep them relegated to the sidelines. In Goneril, we find a natural-born leader. In Regan, a boundary pusher. And in Cordelia, a reluctant peacekeeper. As the three work to dismantle their individual constraints, a storm of inner reckoning begins to brew that reflects their deepest yearnings and mirrors our contemporary world. Whip-smart and wide awake, Queen Goneril was first staged by Soulpepper Theatre, Toronto, Canada, in 2022.
