Coolidge Corner Theatre – King Lear

May 1, 2014 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

$17-2017 – $17-2020

National Theatre Live (NT Live) is a groundbreaking initiative to broadcast the best of British theatre to cinemas around the world.

The Coolidge is the exclusive Boston-area venue for this series of plays — captured live in high-definition — from London’s prestigious National Theatre. 

Academy Award® winner Sam Mendes (Skyfall, American Beauty) returns to the National Theatre to direct Simon Russell Beale (Timon of Athens, Collaborators) in the title role of Shakespeare’s tragedy.

An aged king decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, according to which of them is most eloquent in praising him. His favourite, Cordelia, says nothing. Lear’s world descends into chaos.

Coolidge Corner Theatre is the “only operating not-for-profit Art Deco theatre in the Boston area and is one of the top ten arthouse film exhibition theaters in the country.”
