Saw it 15 October....JP was spectacular but I found both the passionate kisses bestowed upon his daughters and the gestures he used to describe a woman disgusting, but that's the way JP wanted to play it and no one was going to argue with him.  The daughters certainly had a reason for wanting to destroy the King.   Good, solid performances by the rest of the cast and I especially  Albany's transition from milquetoast to tiger.  A wonderful evening out.

Advice for those attending a play at the Almeida next time:  Go for the F row seats with slightly restricted view as there is nothing in front of you but a slender iron pillar.

Got my seats upgraded to Row F (not with restricted views).  This is my first King Lear experience.
Do you suppose Admin could combine this thread with Pharaoh's 2 thread?  I mean, Pharaoh started the thread about this a full year before I did and that would keep things tidy!

I saw this at St. Martins In the Field in 2002 during it's 50th anniversary run....it was fantastic.

One never does have "mouse" you know.....it's always "mice".

My seats are Row H, seats 11 & 12.  I'm set for an October viewing.
