KING LEAR to open at the Wexford Opera House


Newry born Gerard Murphy returns to the Irish Stage in the title role of King Lear.

Having spent most of his professional career in the UK or further afield in the US, it is a great honour that Gerard Murphy returns to Ireland to Second Age to play King Lear. Gerard, a long time associate artist with the Royal Shakespeare, has had the opportunity to play some of Shakespeares greatest leading roles including Macbeth, Anthony in Anthony and Cleopatra, Mark Anthony in Julius Caesar to name but a few, but this will be his first time to play KING LEAR.

Is this the Gerard Murphy who played Braken in the McCallum tele series? If so, he as a loyal fan here.
