"Ian McKellen reigns supreme in this triumphant production." —Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph

"Ian McKellen's detailed, intelligent performance is a triumph."—Henry Hitchings, London Evening Standard

Captured live from London’s West End in 2018, see Ian McKellen in what many consider the greatest tragedy ever written, King Lear. Two ageing fathers – one a King, one his courtier – reject the children who truly love them.  Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends.
