King Lear: Live from Shakespeare’s Globe

Director
Nancy Meckler
Certificate
12A
Running Time
180 mins

Knackered old King Lear decides to carve up his realm between his three daughters, with the spoils going to the biggest toady, so he doesn’t have to bother with all that monarchical bollocks. Bad idea. Is that tragedy on the horizon?

Kevin McNally takes the title role in veteran Shared Experience Artistic Director Nancy Meckler‘s first production for the Globe.
