Harry Potter stars Harry Melling (Dudley Dursley) and Isabella Laughland (Leanne) will be starring in the Minerva Theatre production of King Lear starting October 31st until November 30th.  Harry will be starring as “Fool” and Isabella will be Cordelia. A synopsis of the well known play is as follows:

The legendary American stage and screen actor Frank Langella plays Lear as Chichester Festival Theatre’s Associate Director, Angus Jackson, brings Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy to the intimacy of the Minerva Theatre for 32 performances only.

The ageing Lear decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, giving the biggest piece to the one who claims to love him most. When Cordelia, the youngest, refuses to match the false flattery of her sisters, she is banished from the kingdom.

Having relinquished his power to Regan and Goneril, and tormented by his misjudgement, the increasingly frail Lear descends into grief-fuelled madness.
