King Lear is not one of my favourite Shakespeare plays, in fact I really don't like it. But I really loved this particular production in Chichester. Much impressed by McKellan's energy and particularly loved Sinead Cusack as Kent. Unfortunately most of the cast haven't done the transfer. So I decided against to see it at the Duke of Yorks where I would have to forge out so much more money to have a good seat. But I was happy to see it again at the cinema. Although the actors playing Edgar and Edmund in the transfer were really good, I much preferred Jonathan Bailey and Damien Maloney. And I preferred Phil Daniel's fool. Only Claire Price's Goneril wasn't much different to Dervla Kirwan's and I agree with Peggs that I liked that way how she was portrayed.
Our cinema was very busy but not sold out as it was in the biggest auditorium. Worst audience of a school class I have ever witnessed, it was a relief that most of the bad behaving students left in the interval.
