While the ruins of the Rose seem an ideal place to stage this Shakespearean tragedy, the space as well as the execution of the script made this production difficult to engage with.

It’s the right play, with the right cast, in the right venue. A great addition to the performance history of King Lear.

A powerful and visually breathtaking production of Shakespeare’s great tragedy, performed in one of London’s most fascinating spaces.

This site-specific production has plenty of talent but the tragedy somehow comes off a little tame.

A fresh portrayal of a classic play; great fun for everyone.

This full-blown production really brings the lyrical language of Shakespeare to life.

A production that needs taking by the scruff of the neck; some good potential but chances were not all seized upon.
