 Emotional roller-coaster
20 March 2026 - Cathy C.
I think we were honoured here in Adelaide to have this world premiere, which is now going around the world including Edinburgh. Paul Shearman expects to be back with it next year and his reputation will then precede him. If you are the least inclined to see an intelligent show which puts King Lear in the context of an aging actor's fight to stay with the plot, this is the show for you.

Totally engrossing, stand out performance, hidden gem - don’t miss it!
