HA NOI — Britain's TNT Theatre will bring a tour of Shakespeare's classic drama King Lear to Viet Nam from October 24 to November 2.

In the darkest of the great playwright's tragedies, and arguably his most dramatic and profound work, director Paul Stebbings and his experienced team promise to ignite Shakespeare's timeless classic by heading straight to the heart of the play.

Cinematic music will be woven through the production, more so than that of standard theatre.

King Lear will be performed in English with Vietnamese subtitles at Ha Noi Opera House from October 25 to 27, HCM Municipal Theatre from October 30-31 and Trung Vuong Theatre in Da Nang City on November 2.-VNS
