Jessica Chastain is returning to Broadway in “Lost Lear,” a play that puts a meta spin on “King Lear.”
Chastain was last on Broadway in “A Doll’s House,” an acclaimed 2023 revival of the Henrik Ibsen drama; this is her first time appearing in a new show.
In “Lost Lear,” she will portray Joy, a middle-aged actress suffering from early onset dementia, whose one clear memory is performing in the Shakespeare classic. Chastain will star alongside Corey Stoll (“Appropriate”) and Michael Urie (“Once Upon a Mattress,” “Spamalot”), with additional casting to be announced at a later date.
