"Ian McKellen reigns supreme in this triumphant production." (
Daily Telegraph)
Captured live from London’s West End in 2018, see Ian McKellen’s "extraordinarily moving portrayal’ (
Independent) of
King Lear in cinemas.
Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, 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.
Jonathan Munby directs this "nuanced and powerful" (
The Times) contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play.
