Who Played King Lear in King Lear

King Lear is a role in King Lear, a play that opened Off-Broadway in 2011.

KING LEAR, Shakespeare's masterpiece, is one of the towering works of world literature. In no other play is Shakespeare's tragic vision more terrifyingly clear-and nowhere in his canon does he create a richer or more complex set of characters. When King Lear divides his kingdom among his three daughters, he sets in motion a cascade of violence that sweeps the civilized world to the brink of chaos, and Lear to the edge of madness. Featuring Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe and Emmy winner Sam Waterston in the title role.
