BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Actor Joe Morton is back on stage at The Wallis playing Shakespeare’s iconic “King Lear” in a dramatically reimagined production.

Set in the not too distant future, the play has been streamlined and placed in a post-climate apocalyptic America dealing with environmental disaster, technological chaos and an array of storms.

“King Lear” is running at The Wallis through June 5.
