He commands a nation. He cannot command his family.

Behind King Lear's carefully constructed public image lies a volatile father who demands absolute love and loyalty.

As his relationship with his three daughters fractures, so too does his grip on reality. In this bold modern staging, audiences will not simply watch Lear descend into madness, they will enter it.

National treasure Matthew Kelly (Bleak House, Casualty) stars in the role he has always dreamed of playing, directed by "the talented Hal Chambers" (The Guardian).

A King Lear for our age. A Lear for the ages.
