Broadcast live from London’s West End, see Ian McKellen’s ‘extraordinarily moving portrayal’ (Independent) of King Lear in cinemas.
Chichester Festival Theatre’s production received five-star reviews for its sell-out run, and transfers to the West End for a limited season. Jonathan Munby directs this ‘nuanced and powerful’ (The Times) contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play.
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. | |
 | Runtime: 105 mins Rating: 12A | | The beloved children's novel comes to life in the spirit of Amblin classics (Gremlins, The Goonies) where fantastical events occur in the most unexpected places.
From master frightener Eli Roth and Supernatural writer Eric Kripke comes a family-friendly horror that tells the spine-tingling tale of ten-year-old Lewis (Owen Vaccaro) who goes to live with his eccentric uncle Jonathan Barnavelt (Jack Black) in a creaky old house with a mysterious tick-tocking heart. But his uncle, the house, and everything in this peculiar town - including their mysterious neighbour Mrs Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett) - hides a dark secret. When Lewis accidentally awakens the dead, the town's sleepy faade jolts to life with a secret world of warlocks and witches. | |
