National Theatre Live: King Lear (2018)

National Theatre Live: King Lear poster

Drama

Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, King Lear sees two ageing 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.

Director: Jonathan Munby, Ross MacGibbon
