  • Following its sold-out run at Chichester Festival Theatre, Jonathan Munby’s explosive revival of King Lear transfers to the West End with a celebrated cast led by Ian McKellen as the embittered monarch in a fractured kingdom.
    This contemporary, dystopian production of William Shakespeare’s epic tragedy places audiences at the centre of the storm with its intimate staging, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with shocking ends.
    At the Duke of York's Theatre in London until 3 November 2018, book your King Lear tickets today!
