Straight from the Young Vic in London, where it was a smash hit in 2013, Edward Petherbridge, one of the world’s leading Shakespearean actors, and the Told by an Idiot company bring to life a personal tale starring Shakespeare himself.
Acclaimed classical actor Edward Petherbridge was cast as King Lear, when on the second day of rehearsals he suffered a stroke that left him barely able to move. As he struggled to recover, Edward made a discovery – the entire role of Lear still existed word for word in his mind. From being on the brink of playing one of Shakespeare’s most revered roles, to lying in a hospital bed surrounded by doctors, Edward had never imagined what tragedies and comedies lay in store for him.
This piece is a moving and comic exploration of the resilience of the human spirit through the prism of Shakespeare’s great tragedy.
