This summer, Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival (FlagShakes) returns to the breathtaking grounds of Lowell Observatory with two electrifying productions under the festival tent: William Shakespeare’s towering tragedy "King Lear" and the side-splitting comedy "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare" (abridged) [revised] [again]" by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield.

This exhilarating double bill showcases the full range of Shakespearean storytelling -- from the stormy depths of human sorrow to the joyful chaos of fast-paced parody.
