Breaking Baz: John Lithgow Bares His Soul — And That’s Not All! — In Powerful Sundance Pic ‘Jimpa’ With Olivia Colman As His Daughter

When he played King Lear in Trevor Nunn’s 2007 Royal Shakespeare Company production, which I saw, the most memorable moment, according to Germaine Greer, “is when Ian Mckellen drops his trousers and displays his impressive genitalia to the audience.” Giant, the new play by Mark Rosenblatt that Nicholas Hytner directed at the Royal Court last year to enormous success, transfers to the Harold Pinter Theatre from April 26.
