Glenda Jackson is an astoundingly great Lear in Sam Gold's audacious & inventive "King Lear" which features many other fine performances that make the production feel simultaneously current and timeless. Worth special mention beyond Ms. Jackson are Ruth Wilson's Cordelia/Fool (a brilliant directorial choice to have her play both), John Douglas Thompson's protective Kent, Jayne Houdyshell's loyal Gloucester, Sean Carvajal's honorable Edgar and Pedro Pascal's slickly scheming Edmund. While period purists may take issue with this production, Mr. Gold's production is refreshingly diverse, inclusive and teeming with life.
