This week, along with Grand Slam tennis and an emotionally, psychologically, existentially compelling film, Lincoln Theater is pleased this week to present three world-class theatrical performances captured live on stage. From on tour in Australia, Angela Lansbury and James Earl Jones star in “Driving Miss Daisy.”

From Stratford-Upon-Avon, Sir Antony Sher, one of England’s most Shakespeare-steeped theatrical knights treads the boards as Falstaff in “Henry IV.” And finally, from the same day in London, the celebrated revival of Alan Ayckbourn’s Olivier Award-winning comedy will be broadcast from London’s National Theatre.

“Driving Miss Daisy”

Starring Angela Lansbury and James Earl Jones, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see two iconic Broadway and Hollywood veterans in one of the most enduring and popular stage plays of our time. Driving Miss Daisy tells the affecting story of the decades-long relationship between an elderly Southern Jewish woman, Daisy Werthan, and her compassionate African-American chauffeur, Hoke Colburn. Their iconic tale of pride, changing times and the transformative power of friendship has warmed the hearts of millions worldwide. Plays Wednesday, June 4 at 7 p.m. and Thursday, June 5 at 2 p.m.

Royal Shakespeare Company: “Henry IV Part I” (2:45)

From Stratford-Upon-Avon, Shakespeare’s home, comes this latest production from the RSC. With his crown under threat from enemies both foreign and domestic, Henry IV prepares for war. Having deposed the previous king, he is only too aware of the tenuousness of his position, and of the price to be paid if he falters. Son, Hal and his friend, Falstaff are thrust into the brutal reality of the battlefield, where Hal must confront his responsibilities to family and throne. Plays Thursday, June 5 at 7 p.m. and encores Thursday, June 26 at 7 p.m. Presented in partnership with Charter Oak Capital Management.

“Locke” (R, 1:25)
