A THEATRE legend will return to the stage in one of Shakespeare’s most harrowing tragedies in Rhyl and Prestatyn this autumn.
Sir Ian McKellen is set to reprise the role of beleaguered King Lear in National Theatre Live’s latest staging of the Bard’s timelessly poignant tragedy, screened live for theatre lovers at Rhyl’s Vue Cinema and the Prestatyn Scala on Thurday, September 27 at 7.30pm.
Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, King Lear sees two ageing fathers – one a King, one his courtier – reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends.
Tickets for the Scala are £15, available from merlincinemas.co.uk, and £19.54 (including booking fee) for the Vue screening, available from myvue.com
