King Lear directed by David Farr.
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 Kathryn Hunter playing the Fool.
King Lear runs at The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon from 18 February to 26 August 2010.
