A Nuevo Comedy about Family Business, inspired by King Lear.

The Esteemed Reymundo Lear is retiring from running his fried chicken empire and plans to pass on his three restaurants to daughters, Gisela, Raquel, and Cordelia... until Cordelia falls out of favor. What will happen next? What of Rey's old friend Gilberto and his feuding sons Edwardo and Edmundo? Will Rey ever be served his lunch? You'll have to wait for the rest of the delicious story to be told by the foolish narrator Jeff.

El Rey del Pollo puts a family-friendly spin on Shakespeare’s King Lear, using Elizabethan verse, Spanglish, and today’s vernacular to make an hour-long Shakespearean telenovela for the stage.  If you know King Lear you'll enjoy the clever storyline, but this entertaining new production stands on its own.

Make reservations to enjoy this Nuevo, Latinx, King Lear-inspired comedy.
