King Lear (10x2)

Udgivelsesdato: Sep 27, 2018

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. Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, Ian McKellen is King Lear in Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play, directed by Johnathan Munby. Broadcast live from the Duke of York's Theatre.
