Review: KING LEAR at the Globe Theatre
By Richard Franklin Monday, August 21 2017, 07:36
Audiences at recent Globe productions have enjoyed or had to endure several egocentric productions which have been more about the director's agenda rather than the playwright's so it's great to have the refreshingly steady hand of veteran director Nancy Meckler in the driving seat for Shakespeare's masterpiece, King Lear.
