Lear

Edward Bond's version of Lear's story embraces myth, superstition and reality to reveal the endemic violence of a rancorous society. Set around the symbolic building of a great wall, Lear exposes false morality as the source of the aggressive tension which may ultimately destroy us all. Bond’s epic masterpiece is brought to vivid life in a new Crucible production that reunites Ian McDiarmid and Jonathan Kent for the first time since leaving the Almeida Theatre in London.
