King Lear

‘English Touring Theatre is one of our treasures.’ The Guardian
‘Stephen Unwin's production is as clear as a mountain stream.’ Financial Times
‘ This is a Lear and a King Lear to cherish.’ The Times

Often regarded as one of the supreme products of the human mind, King Lear dazzles us with its power, range and artistry and takes us to the very heart of what it is to be human.

This must-see new staging reunites Timothy West with ETT’s Artistic Director Stephen Unwin. They last collaborated two years ago on a much-acclaimed production of Ibsen’s The Master Builder, for which West received a Manchester Evening News Best Actor award.
