Glenda Jackson commands the part of King Lear with electrifying charisma, at once vitriolic and vulnerable
has a reputation for asperity. As a star of stage and screen, she earned notoriety and two Academy awards for her knack for finding something wise and sharp in even middling scripts. A profile in 1971 heralded her as “the screen’s champion castrator”. As a left-wing Labour backbencher for over two decades until 2015, she regularly skewered Tony Blair and took Margaret Thatcher’s death as an opportunity to lambast her.
After a quarter of a century away from the stage, Ms Jackson’s turn as Lear in London in 2016 made it clear that time had burnished her original craft. Last year she won a Tony for her performance as an acidic widow in Edward Albee’s “Three Tall Women”. With disarming humility, she admits she is surprised to be getting such good roles again.
