 Shadow King, The         Thumbul

Shadow King, The

Synopsis:
The greatest of all epics about nation, is finally an epic about our nation. Epic and provocative, The Shadow Kingreworks Shakespeare's timeless tragedy King Lear as a sprawling, blood-soaked tale of two Indigenous families in Australia's north. Probing our understanding of kinship and country, it weaves a parable that echoes our nation's history. Told through modern English, Kriol languages and a live rock score, this ambitious new production brings together some of Australia's foremost Indigenous performers, including Tom E. Lewis (The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith) and Jimi Bani (Mabo), along with the music of Bart Willoughby. Working across cultures and generations, The Shadow King is an unmissable theatrical event of a scale and significance to match the land on which it's made.
