National Theatre Live: King Lear
Saturday, November 17 at 2:00PM

By William Shakespeare
Starring Ian McKellen
Directed by Jonathan Munby

★★★★★ ‘Ian McKellen reigns supreme in this triumphant production.’ (Daily Telegraph)

Broadcast live from London’s West End, see Ian McKellen’s ‘extraordinarily moving portrayal’ (Independent) of King Lear in cinemas.

Chichester Festival Theatre’s production received five-star reviews for its sell-out run, and transfers to the West End for a limited season. Jonathan Munby directs this ‘nuanced and powerful’ (The Times) contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play.

Running Time: TBD

$20 general public,
$16 NU Employee,
$16 Seniors (62+),
$10 full-time student (Under 30 with current ID),
