King Lear

The legendary David Ryall leads Darker Purpose Theatre's electrifying production.

Darker Purpose Theatre presents a fast-paced, text-driven production of Shakespeare’s monumental exploration of redemption through suffering, starring National Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company legend David Ryall.

With designs by Alexander McPherson and lighting by Davy Cunningham, Lewis Reynolds’ production will take its lead from Shakespeare’s own performance practice, exploring the bard’s “coded” directions to his actors and focusing on performance in the moment.
