David Threlfall
returns to the Theatre after
27 years to play Lear.
Shakespeare’s most elemental tragedy charts a kingdom
where power corrupts, families become enemies and
prosperity devolves into war. At its centre is the mind
of a man who can no longer understand what it means to
be human. Lear is a searing portrait of a king unable to
distinguish truth from lies. As the storm rises and
night falls, language, identity and meaning break down
completely. This reimagining of Shakespeare’s masterwork
is adapted and directed by Matthew Dunster.
