  • Peter Rose was fortunate to be seated in the stalls for King Lear on opening night. The acoustics of the Ros Packer Theatre are notoriously fickle. At the second performance (Monday 6.30pm), people in the front rows of the dress circle found some actors virtually impossible to hear - including Robin Nevin as the Fool. Max Cullen in the key role of Gloucester did not seem confident of his lines, leaving us on tenterhooks as to whether he would manage to remember them.
