About the Show
|
KING LEAR is considered by many to be Shakespeare's most profound tragedy. Lear is an all-powerful king of ancient Britain who decides to divide his realm between his three daughters, depending upon how enthusiasticlly they declare their love for him. Lear, the arrogant leader who has to touch bottom before he finds true wisdon, his children, friends and servants, some treacherous and some true, all blaze with life, thanks to Shakespeare's brilliant language and uncanny knowledge of the human heart. |
