The Royal Shakespeare Company is broadcasting in select cinemas a High-Definition live performance of William Shakespeare’s powerful play, King Lear. Presented in partnership with University Musical Society (UMS), Michigan Theater will be one of the theaters hosting this event on Sunday, December 4th. A masterful, tragic, and enlightening play, the story of King Lear explores vanity, power’s tendency to corrupt, and the limits of family loyalty. Anthony Sher stars in this Stratford-Upon-Avon (the home of Shakespeare himself) based company’s production. Sher is an award winning actor and has a long history with the organization, joining the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1982.
Don’t miss this great opportunity to see this world renowned company’s performance- and all without having to leave Ann Arbor!
