Last night, I saw the best production of King Lear that I have ever seen. It is on at The Almeida Theatre in Islington. First off, what a great theatre! Danny Sapani as Lear was absolutely superb. But the whole production was. Clarke Peters sublime as the Fool. Two old comrades of mine, Faith Omole (Ideal Husband..
