Lear @ The Yard Theatre (until 02 Jan 2027)

Ian McKellen has performed in King Lear over a thousand times. None of them like this. McKellen: I've organised my life, for good or bad, so that acting is the main thing I do. Lear: My wits begin to turn- McKellen: So if I'm not acting, what's the point? A man who has given his life to playing; a king at the end of everything. Shakespeares King Lear, reimagined by Simon Stephens and Jay Miller, with Ian McKellen.
