An aging monarch plans to divide his kingdom between his three daughters. But when he asks them first to prove how much they love him, he sets off a series of events which turn the daughters into enemies, the state into a maelstrom. One of the greatest tragedies ever written, in a new adaptation featuring music by Clint Bierman ’97 and Professor of Theatre Alex Draper in the title role.
