Michael Pennington takes the lead in this touring production of King Lear. The play is proving particular popular this year, what with Michael Buffong's production in Manchester (with Don Warrington as Lear) and productions of the play lined up for the Old Vic theatres in London and Bristol (the former to star Glenda Jackson, and the latter Timothy West). This touring production is directed by Max Webster.
