    Once every decade or so, a great actor comes to Broadway and gives a performance that reminds us why we go to the theater. Last year, that actor was Glenda Jackson in
    Three Tall Women
    . This season, Jackson is back on Broadway, and she’s climbing the tallest mountain any actor can climb. Glenda Jackson is
    King Lear.
    The Tony and two-time Academy Award winner plays Lear for 19 weeks only in an all new production directed by Tony winner Sam Gold (
    A Doll’s House Part 2
    ,
    Fun Home
    ), leading a cast that includes Tony winner Jayne Houdyshell (

    ), Elizabeth Marvel (
    Other Desert Cities
    ), Aisling O’Sullivan (
    Raw
    ), Pedro Pascal (
    Game of Thrones
    ), John Douglas Thompson (

    The Affair

    will feature an original score by the legendary composer Philip Glass.
    SYNOPSIS:
    In William Shakespeare's royal-family tragedy, the aging King Lear divides his estate between his three daughters, ultimately refusing his youngest and favorite her share because she won't publicly admit her love for him. The decision leads to chaos and treachery within the kingdom and madness for its monarch.
