King Lear

Starring BAFTA-Nominated actor and Shakespeare-great John McEnery (National Theatre, Shakespeare's Globe) in the title role, Shoreditch's resident 5-Star Shakespeare Company are proud to present the monumental pagan tragedy, King Lear.

Director Benjamin Blyth strips this epic tragedy to its bare bones, as unaccommodated man is set on the rack inside the crumbling grandeur of St Leonard's Church.

By returning to the burial place of the original Lear, Richard Burbage, The Malachites continue in their mission to reconnect Shakespeare with Shoreditch - and in the process explore new ways of working with Shakespeare as a writer in development, with an irreverence inherited from the Lord Chamberlain's Men who rest underfoot.
