What is currently on at Sheffield Theatres (V962)

Lear

LearT0529414889
Edward Bond's version of Lear's story embraces myth, superstition and reality to reveal the endemic violence of a rancorous society. Set around the symbolic building of a great wall, Lear exposes false morality as the source of the aggressive tension which may ultimately destroy us all.
Author Edward Bond
