Famed theatrical producer Richard Price and directors Trevor Nunn and Chris Hunt teamed with Britain's legendary Royal Shakespeare Company to create this film version of Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear, with the masterful Ian McKellen (Scandal, Richard III) in the title role. The said production toured numerous major cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Melbourne, then traveled to Pinewood Studios in Britain for this filmed version, done on closed sets.
