King Lear

Once every decade or so, a great actor comes to Broadway and gives a performance that reminds us why we go to the theater. This year, Glenda Jackson – called the best actress alive by The Guardian - climbs the tallest mountain any actor can climb, taking on the epic role of King Lear. King Lear is one of the most acclaimed and celebrated productions in the history of the theater. William Shakespeare’s royal-family tragedy tells the story of the aging King Lear, facing his family and legacy. His decisions lead to chaos and treachery within the kingdom, bringing madness for its monarch. Don’t miss this gripping performance!
