Considered by many to be the great- est 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. Ian McKellen stars in this contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play.
