King Lear
Captured live from London’s West End, see Ian McKellen’s ‘extraordinarily moving portrayal’ (Independent) of King Lear in cinemas.
Chichester Festival Theatre’s production received five-star reviews for its sold-out run and transfers to the West End for a limited season. Jonathan Munby directs this ‘nuanced and powerful’ (the Times) contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking 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 storm of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends.
Warning: This event contains special effects including without limitations strobe lights, flashing images and other lighting effects which may cause disorientation.
