About
Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear, starring Olivier and Tony award winning actor Ian McDiarmid at the world famous Crucible.
In an attempt to spend the remaining years of his life unburdened by the pressures of monarchy, King Lear decides to pass his lands and responsibilities to his three daughters.
When he tells them they must secure their inheritance by proving how much they love him, his eldest daughters make dramatic speeches. The youngest, refuses and is banished by her father.
Once in control of their father’s kingdom, Lear’s remaining daughters trade declarations of love for cold hearted treachery, ejecting the former king from their homes, and stripping him of his authority, his dignity, and ultimately, his sanity.
“Britain’s Finest Theatre”
“Always serious quality on show”
“A dynamic venue with a strong connection to it’s audience”
