JOIN US FOR THE BEST OF LONDON THEATER, ON SCREEN IN LANDIS CINEMA.
Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, Shakespeare’s King Lear sees two aging fathers—one a King, one his courtier—reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends.
Ian McKellen leads the cast of the five-star Chichester Festival Theatre production with an “extraordinarily moving portrayal” (Independent) of King Lear. Jonathan Munby directs this contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play.
