“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.”
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.
