“King Lear”: Robin’s Goodfellows
Oct. 30–Nov. 1. This new U-M student Shakespeare company performs the bard’s tormenting yet sublime story of an aging king who decides to divide his kingdom among his 3 daughters. It’s one of Western literature’s most wrenching studies of arrogance, willful pride, and filial relationships. 2 p.m. (Sun.) & 7:30 p.m. (Fri. & Sat.), Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. $10–$16.50 in advance at muto.umich.edu & at the door. instagram.com/robinsgoodfellows.
