Caribbean King is a de-colonial, trans-gressive, adaptive confrontation with Shakespeare’s King Lear in which Cord(elia) fights to survive against a catastrophic hurricane barreling towards his family’s resort, and his hotelier father’s unshakeable belief that he is a daughter, not a son. A love letter to found family and queer community building, the play features a chorus of drag performers who play the role of the hurricane, and has Black, Queer, Diasporic liberation at the eye of its storm.
