Kenneth Branagh and cast on a new production of Shakespeare’s “King Lear” | THE SHED

Hear from Kenneth Branagh on his fast-paced production of Shakespeare’s “King Lear.” The actor/co-director is joined by other cast members from the London production Deborah Alli, Melanie-Joyce Bermudez, and Jessica Revell as they discuss the motivations behind their characters. “King Lear” begins previews at The Shed on October 26, 2024.
_______________
Kenneth Branagh plays the title role in a new production of William Shakespeare’s “King Lear,” set in the barbarous landscape of Ancient Britain. Featuring a cast of rising stars from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art co-directed by Rob Ashford, Branagh, and Lucy Skilbeck, this production releases the play’s power and turmoil in a fast-paced staging.
In playing Lear, Branagh completes a trifecta of great Shakespearean tragic roles, complementing past appearances as Hamlet in his Academy Award-nominated film version of the play (1996) and on stage as Macbeth in a celebrated immersive production (2014). This strictly limited, exclusive US engagement of King Lear runs for 50 performances only.
