It is a sign of new Citizens Theatre director Dominic Hill's ambition that he has secured the services of David Hayman (who made his name at the Gorbals playhouse four decades ago) to play the lead in Shakespeare's King Lear.

The longest memories in Scottish theatre will struggle to recollect a better combination of play, actor and director.
In my 25 years as a theatre-goer I have been blessed to see Mark Rylance play the Bard's Hamlet, Diana Rigg as Brecht's Mother Courage, and Fiona Shaw in the role of Arkadina in Chekhov's The Seagull. Hayman's Lear should be remembered alongside such great performances.
