I emphasize ‘by accident’ because this superlative production arrived and exited without much fanfare, and as a result it isn’t much remembered or even known. Thanks for helping to remedy that wrong Jon by posting this. I’ve always loved Ian Holm’s work but never in a month of Sundays did I ever see him as Lear. Boy, did he and does he prove the near-sighted nature of my projection! Amanda Redman is a stunner here too.
