David Farr directed King Lear after directing the same ensemble in The Winter's Tale in 2009.
This production played in the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon before Newcastle, London and the Lincoln Center, New York. Farr's King Lear was also one of the first shows to play in the re-opened Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford in early 2011.
