King Lear Theatre & Performing Arts


King Lear by William Shakespeare “It will come: humanity must prey on itself, like monsters of the deep.”

Driven from his home, King Lear endures madness and great suffering as he battles a great storm. Yet with madness he finds reason, after betrayal he discovers loyalty and through his suffering a better world emerges.


Four time Olivier Award nominee Michael Pennington leads a cast of fourteen distinguished actors in Max Webster’s epic new interpretation of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy. The production marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death and is part of an extensive national tour.

“Pennington gives an absolute master class in classical acting, he is utterly mesmerising” Manchester’s Finest

“PENNINGTON IS SIMPLY THE BEST, THE MOST SUBTLY CORRUPT, THE MOST CONSUMMATELY POLITICAL CLAUDIUS I HAVE EVER SEEN” Sunday Times on Sir Peter Hall’s Hamlet

“SPLENDID WORK FROM MICHAEL PENNINGTON” Daily Telegraph on Kenneth Branagh & Rob Ashford’s The Winter’s Tale
