Kean
Apollo Theatre
Shaftesbury Avenue
London
W1D 6NA
Edmund Kean, the greatest romantic actor of the 19th century, for the 20th century Antony Sher recreates him on the stage. Drawn loosely from life, Kean is a pretender of the highest order, 'the actor who never ceased acting'. His private life is a public performance, a tragi-comedy about a man with an insatiable appetite for romantic adventure, an ego as big as a stage and an inability to rescue himself from jeopardy. This cross-century collaboration is an unmissable portrait, redolent with greasepaint and overflowing with the life of the theatre.
