Are We Delicious? is thrilled to announce a musical adaptation of the classic Shakespeare tragedy with original songs inspired by the music of The Smiths and The Cure, and with dances created and performed by Kanopy Dance.

Beginning with the original text and a one-page outline, the Delicious ensemble will write, rehearse and premiere their original, contemporary King Lear musical in only seven days. Are We Delicious? depends on the creativity, camaraderie and hard work of its local, multi-talented ensemble as they collaborate in a “deliberate crisis experience”, overcoming creative blocks and integrating different perspectives to create art that’s fresh, exciting and unexpected.

The King Lear ensemble includes recognizable performers from previous Are We Delicii, local theatre productions, local rock bands, and members of Kanopy Dance. The ensemble will include people who have done Delicious ten times as well as people who have never worked this way.
