STC’s acclaimed and thrice-extended King Lear, directed by Simon Godwin and featuring Patrick Page in the title role, is now streaming on demand through April 16, 2023.

Caught in a carousel of memory, the head of a dysfunctional royal family grapples with power-hungry children and the threat of losing the empire he created. Real and imagined worlds coalesce, creating a political and personal horror that threatens to swallow the mind of the monarch. The incomparable Patrick Page (Hadestown, The Gilded Age) returns to STC as the once-revered king caught in an emotional hurricane ravaging his home, head, and heart.

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Simon Godwin
