Denzel Washington-led KING LEAR on stage and film for 2023?

Oh goodie. Another Lear.

He's brilliant so yes please.

Do a new play, Denzel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine the EVENT status of him doing a new play by Brandon Jacobs Jenkins or Suzan Lori Parks or Lynn Nottage or Dominique Morisseau or Tarrell Alvin McCraney or Tony Kush or whoever?!

This was a Rudin project. Wonder who he'll work with as a producer (and director) now that SR is gone?

I love him on stage and screen, but I just do not need to see another LEAR.

As far as Denzel's creative output, this is not something I feel like I need.

But as far as Lears go, I think he'd probably end up giving the best rendition of Lear I've personally ever seen. It's infuriating how much this role invites hammy overacting, even from the greats (I wish there was some kind of red tape regulation whereby any actor playing King Lear was banned from screaming a single line of text). But I think Denzel would be one of the actors to do right by the role.

Baz's scoops are usually surrounding UK-based projects, no? I wonder if Denzel plans to do it in London.
