 "Shakespeare & Company to resume live, in-person performances with a production of King Lear")
Boston: The renowned Shakespeare & Company theater group in Massachusetts plans to resume live, in-person performances this summer with a production of King Lear starring Christopher Lloyd.
King Lear, which will run from 2 July through 29 August, will also be the first production in The New Spruce Theatre, a new outdoor amphitheater under the towering spruce trees on the Shakespeare & Company campus in Lenox, the organization said in a statement this week.

Lloyd was originally scheduled to appear in the moving tragedy in 2020, but the entire season last year was wiped out by the coronavirus pandemic.
Lloyd is perhaps best known as Doc Brown in the Back to the Future film franchise but has also appeared in The Addams Family, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the Taxi television series, for which he won two Emmys.
King Lear will be directed by Nicole Ricciardi.
At all performances, audiences will be required to wear masks, socially distance and adhere to state public health guidelines, the company said.
