A backyard full of their late father ’s belongings. And a childhood game that transforms Shakespeare’s “ King Lear” into something intimate\\, unruly\\, and entirely their own. Bridge Street Theatre’s 2026 MainStage Season continues October 1–11 with “Storm Still\\,” Gab Reisman’s funny\\, moving\\, and fiercel y theatrical reimagining of one of Shakespeare’s most devastating famil y tragedies. The play unfolds over the course of a single late-summer eve ning as three estranged sisters reunite in the backyard of their recently deceased father’s home. Goneril\\, Regan\\, and Cordelia have clothing to sort\\, furniture to move\\, papers to examine\\, and difficult decis ions to make about what should be kept and what can finally be discarded. But this is not the first time the sisters have played those famous Shak espearean daughters. When they were children\\, the backyard became their kingdom and “King Lear” became their game. Now\\, surrounded by the physical remains of their father’s life\\, they begin playing again. Ho usehold objects become crowns\\, costumes\\, and weapons. The sisters tra de characters\\, race through Shakespeare’s tragedy according to their own exuberant rules\\, and each take her turn inhabiting Lear himself. Wh at begins in playfulness gradually exposes the very different relationshi ps the women had with their father—and the different choices they made as his health declined. One stayed. One helped carry the daily burden of care. One left. Each remembers the family differently\\, and each has her own understanding of loyalty\\, abandonment\\, survival\\, and love. Par t eulogy\\, part drinking game\\, and part childhood make-believe\\, “S torm Still” uses the architecture of “King Lear” to explore the sto ries families tell about themselves. As the sisters move between Shakespe are’s characters and their own unresolved history\\, the ancient traged y becomes a living language through which they can confront grief\\, estr angement\\, caregiving\\, and the complicated inheritance of both love an d harm. Playwright and director Ashleigh Ann Gardner called the play “a lovely\\, buoyant\\, effervescent\\, female-centric re-thinking of one o f Shakespeare’s most heart-wrenching plays.” The Bridge Street Theatr e production is directed by Jasmine Roth\\, a director and choreographer whose work examines individual\\, political\\, and relational transformat ion while centering stories of women and queerness. Roth is a resident di rector with Neurodivergent Plays and a Visiting Assistant Professor at Un ion College in Schenectady.

Callaway’s regional credits include “John Proctor Is the Villain” at Huntington Theatre Company\\, “Haunted” at Comp any One\\, and “Rooted” and “Be Here Now” at Lyric Stage Boston.
