Who Played King Lear in King Lear

King Lear is a role in King Lear, a play that opened Broadway in 2019.

Glenda Jackson, just coming off her run in Three Tall Women on Broadway, has already set the date of her return. Jackson will appear as the title character in King Lear in the play's Broadway run next year. Jackson is no stranger to this role, playing it previously in 2016 at London's Old Vic. The Broadway production will be entirely different, with new staging.
