In an ancient Britain bound by loyalty to the clan and the power of the sword, King Lear decides to give up his crown. As he divides the kingdom between his daughters, family ties disintegrate, order disappears and the land slides into chaos.
Shakespeare’s brutal portrait of one man’s unwinding sanity takes us from the heart of power to the cold and barren world of the outsider. It pitches Lear against his children, against nature and against the universe itself.
In Talawa’s 30th anniversary year, Michael Buffong and the company return to The REP, following their groundbreaking productions ofMoon On A Rainbow Shawl and All My Sons.
Featuring Don Warrington (Death In Paradise) as King Lear, Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter and How To Get Away With Murder) as Edgar and Miltos Yerolemou (Game Of Thrones) as The Fool.
What's On has teamed up with the The REP Theatre, Birmingham to offer you a chance to win one of three pairs of tickets to King Lear on Tuesday 24 May at 7pm.
Competition closes Monday 16 May.
