CloseA repeat screening of the live broadcast from the Donmar Warehouse.
The Donmar’s Artistic Director, Michael Grandage, directs Derek Jacobi as King Lear.
“Who is is that can tell me who I am?”
An ageing monarch. A kingdom divided. A child’s love rejected. As Lear’s world descends into chaos, all that he once believed is brought into question.
One of the greatest works in western literature, King Lear explores the very nature of human existence: love and duty, power and loss, good and evil.
Theatre
Seating up to 550, audiences are assured of an excellent view of the stage and comfortable seating in this well-designed auditorium. The theatre stages the best national and international plays and performances, as well as contemporary and international dance, music and comedians.

I think these screenings are great idea, especially for those of us who don't have the time or finances to see the performance in London. Unfortunately all the showings clash with other things for me so I haven't yet managed to see any of them! More of these on different days please (not Mondays and Thursday!!)

Hi Lucinda
Thank you for your feedback. These are proving to be very popular with our audiences and we hope to continue with this part of our programming. Unfortunately, due to the nature of these screenings, i.e. they are broadcast live throughout the UK, the scheduling is done by the National Theatre Live team. However, we will pass on your feedback to the team at the National Theatre.
I hope you can make it along to one of the forthcoming National Theatre Live events.
With best wishes
