Jessica Chastain, Michael Urie, and Corey Stoll to Star in Lost Lear on Broadway

Jessica Chastain, Michael Urie, and Corey Stoll will return to Broadway in Dan Colley’s play Lost Lear, which the author will direct at the Booth Theatre beginning Monday, March 29. Opening night is Friday, April 23.

In Lost Lear, an actress (Chastain) living with dementia at a care home finds herself in rehearsal to play King Lear, with her nurse (Urie) stepping into the role of the Fool and her estranged son (Stoll) drawn into playing Cordelia.

Lost Lear will have sets and costumes by Scott Pask, lighting by Heather GIlbert, sound by Cody Spencer, projections by Hana S. Kim and Yana Biryukova, and original music by Daniel McAuley.

The play was first performed in 2022 at the Riverbank Arts Centre, before officially premiering at the Dublin Theatre Festival. It ran in 2025 at the Edinburgh Fringe, where it won a Fringe First Award.
