description In Stratford the same year, he established himself as a major talent with a memorably deformed Richard III in Bill Alexander’s production, winning an Olivier award the following year when it transferred to London, jointly for that performance and his lead role in Harvey Fierstein’s gay masterpiece Torch Song Trilogy. In September 2021, he stepped down temporarily from that post to nurse his husband Antony through his terminal illness. [VIDEO REMOVED.] After a 2010 stint as anti-hero Thomas Stockmann in An Enemy of the People, directed by Daniel Evans in Sheffield, he played in Arthur Miller’s Kristallnacht evocation Broken Glass at the Vaudeville (2011), followed by Nicholas Wright’s Travelling Light at the National (directed by Nichols Hytner, 2012) and Terry Johnson’sHysteria, in which he played Sigmund Freud, at the Theatre Royal Bath (2012), repeating the role at Hampstead in 2013. Henry IV returned to the Barbican in 2016, when Sher played his final great Shakespeare role as King Lear, reprising it in 2018.
