Now to Sat., June 5: “One of the most keenly awaited Shakespearean performances of recent times.†The Guardian (UK).
Sir Derek Jacobi is King Lear. Known to American audiences for his Broadway (Uncle Vanya, Much Ado About Nothing), film (Hamlet, Dead Again), and television work (I, Claudius), the legendary British actor takes on one of Shakespeare’s greatest roles in a  new production from director Michael Grandage.
Featuring the team behind six-time Tony Award-winning Red, the renowned Donmar Warehouse (Creditors, 2010 Spring Season).
Unrivaled theatrical partners, Tony and Olivier Award winners Jacobi and Grandage (The Tempest, Don Carlos, and Twelfth Night) bring King Lear’s grand themes to life in a production that unites one of the great actors of our time and one of England’s most revered directors.
