King Lear
|
 |
|
| Presenter: | Bell Shakespeare |
| Description: | Experience John Bell in the legendary roleIt's birthdays all round as Bell Shakespeare turns 20 and John Bell turns 70. However, it's the audience that gets the present, with the great actor taking on the role of King Lear.
When the ageing King prepares to divide his kingdom, he asks his three daughters how much they love him. Two tell him what he wants to hear and the third is disinherited and banished to France. From there it's just a short trip to total chaos.
In an unprecedented union of Bell Shakespeare's artistic leaders, Marion Potts directs John Bell as Lear in a poetic and powerful production of one of the greatest works in western literature.
King Lear is the cornerstone of Bell Shakespeare's 20th year celebrations and promises to be one of the great theatre events of 2010. |
