We don't have a performance count. A blank here means the count is unknown, not a short run.

No closing date. At this distance that most likely means nobody wrote down when it ended, rather than that the run went on.

Who was in it2 named

Robert B Mantell
Marie Booth Russell

0 of these 2 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 2 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name, so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.

Robert B. Mantell Repertoire

A producer is one string on this record, however many people or companies it names. Directors and choreographers are held both as text and as identifiers; where an identifier exists the name links to a page.

What this page does not know

  • No photograph of this staging.
  • No character names. We can say who was in the company and not who they played.
  • No recording is held for King Lear at all.
  • When it closed.
  • No performance count.
  • No director named.
  • Reviews, box office, running order, understudies and designers: none of it is held for any production.
