“Lear” is a play that twists and transcends the tale by William Shakespeare about the old King and his daughters.

It’s the finale for this summer’s season from theatre company Obvious Dad in Chattanooga - premiering Friday in the Fine Arts Center here at UTC, recommended for ages 16 and older.

Blake Harris is artistic director of Obvious Dad.
