“David Farr's production is a masterpiece...gripping, inventive and assured”
Whatsonstage
Toppled by pride and stripped of all status, King Lear heads into the wilderness with a fool and a madman for company.
Shakespeare's great tragedy peels away the trappings of society to reveal the unforgiving truth of the human condition.
After their acclaimed collaboration on The Winter's Tale, David Farr once again directs the ensemble. Greg Hicks takes the title role with Sophie Russell playing the Fool.
We offer workshops and events for students and free resources for teachers to support this production.
