Description Ruled by drag qweens, fuelled by love

Qween Lear is a fierce and fabulous musical adaptation of King Lear, set over one wild night in ancient Sydney - before the Olympics.

Long-reigning gay club monarch, Qween Lear, is abdicating the spotlight, whilst her drag daughters Regan, Goneril and Cordelia claw for her coveted 4am slot. Who will nab the ultimate night crown?

Hilarious, extravagant and extremely f*cking naughty, Qween Lear is Shakespearean theatre of decadent drag show proportions. Witness loyalties, banishments and betrayals as this qweendom begins to crumble.
