ONE of Shakespeare’s greatest plays will be broadcast live to a theatre in Runcorn from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

King Lear is a powerful and tragic story about an ageing monarch who decides to divide his kingdom between his children.

But he misjudges his daughters’ loyalty and when he finds himself alone in the wilderness, he is left to confront the life mistakes that led him to the point of despair.

The production will be performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company with star actor Sir Antony Sher in the leading role.
