Theatre: King Lear
Overview
Join a friendly group of Spicers to watch the latest production at The Garrick Theatre in Stockport. Tonight we see with King Lear by William Shakespeare - Shakespeare's classic tragedy bursts into the modern day in this contemporary remix
“Nothing will come of nothing: speak again.” It never goes away. We all must face the moment of truth that we won’t live forever. Lear, father and king of unquestioned power, must divide his realm between his three daughters. The first two quickly declare the love he is desperate to hear, yet his favourite Cordelia shuns the performative circus. “Nothing” she answers, when asked to speak. And towards that nothing Lear’s world begins to slide. As the new generation unleashes the consequences of their father’s choices, Lear takes us into the eye of the storm and its trail of destruction.

The Garrick Theatre is situated on Exchange Street, just off the main A6 in Stockport, opposite the Post Office Sorting Office. If you drive down Exchange Street, with the theatre on your right, immediately behind the theatre there is a large free car-park. It will state that it is ‘private’ as during the day it is used for office workers, but in the evening patrons to the Garrick Theatre are allowed to park there. If you get to the end of Exchange Street, which ends in a T junction with the bus station opposite, then you have gone too far and missed the car park. The bus and Railway stations are both near-by too.
