Royal Shakespeare Company: King Lear
Today, September 13, madness lies at the Brooklyn Academy of Music—but don’t shun it. The Royal Shakespeare Company presents a production of King Lear, featuring a collaboration between Trevor Nunn and Ian McKellen. You’re going to have to call your scalper on this one: Performances are currently sold out. You have until September 30 to try to figure out a way to get in. Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. 30 Lafayette Avenue. (718) 636-4100.
