“King Lear”
Ian McKellen takes on one of the great roles as King Lear, captured live at the West End run of the Chichester Festival Theatre’s production. This contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play matches one of his generation’s best Shakespearean actors with a role he was born to play. Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, “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.
