King Lear

Ten Kings in ten paper crowns all playing the title role. It’s thrilling theatre. Presented by Compagnia de’ Colombari – the international collective of performing artists, this is King Lear like you have most certainly never seen it before.

It is a vigorous exploration of the characters’ egos, motivations, and power dynamics, the actors delve deeply into the internal and external journey of a stubborn, fractured soul.

The score is by the epic American trumpeter Frank London.

Melodrama Must-See
GIANT
New York

“I was lucky enough to see this at The Royal Court and it was unforgettable. John Lithgow transforms into a complex, curmudgeonly Roald Dahl and leaves you with your jaw on the floor by the play's end. Sophisticated in its writing, Giant is deceptively witty, haunting and timely.”
