Thursday 27 September 2018

Broadcast live from London’s West End, Jonathan Munby directs this ‘nuanced and powerful’ (The Times) contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play.

Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, King Lear sees 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.

7.00pm at the Capitol, North Street, Horsham RH12 1RG.

Tickets: £18, concessions £17, students £13 from the box office 01403 750220 or book online.
