About this event

By William Shakespeare. Adapted and directed by Matthew Dunster David Threlfall plays Lear in a searing portrait of a king unable to distinguish truth from lies. As the storm rises and night falls, language, identity and meaning break down completely.

Follow the thread

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar theatre still playing in Manchester this week.

This venue’s world

This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.

Traditions this room works in

Tags on the venue. Other Manchester rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.

Also playing this week

Same kind of night (theatre) in Manchester. Spread across the week, not a ranking.

A different kind of night

Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
