Description:
One of the pinnacles of world drama, and Shakespeare’s greatest masterpiece, King Lear is the most complete account we have of what it is – and what it is not – to be human.
The play launched Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory on an unsuspecting world in February 2000; the company is delighted to offer this new production to a much larger audience in 2012.
John Shrapnel plays King Lear.
“Andrew Hilton’s commanding production... is once again a revelation” The Guardian (on 2011’s Richard II)
“One of the finest productions of Shakespeare – or any other playwright for that matter – seen in Bristol in years” The Independent (on the 2000 production of King Lear)
