    By popular demand: second encore presentation added on Saturday, February 26!

    Captured live from the internationally-acclaimed Donmar Warehouse. The Donmar's Artistic Director, Michael Grandage, directs Derek Jacobi as King Lear.

    "Who is it that can tell me who I am?" An aging monarch. A kingdom divided. A child’s love rejected. As Lear’s world descends into chaos, all that he once believed is brought into question. One of the greatest works in western literature, KING LEAR explores the very nature of human existence: love and duty, power and loss, good and evil.

    "FIVE STARS. Jacobi's Triumph. He made the familiar lines new and shook the heart." — The Times of London

    "The finest King Lear I have ever seen." — Daily Telegraph
