Type: Masterclass
Playwright: Shakespeare
Location: Globe Theater, London
Year: 1988
With chosen scenes and soliloquies performed by scholars of London’s finest academies, this rendering layeth bare the tempest and torment that stir within the play’s very heart. This adaptation doth reveal a mighty vision of the troubled soul of King Lear, a tragedy most grievous and grand. Behold, an aged sovereign, full of years, who yieldeth his crown and kingdom unto his daughters. As madness overtakes the king, the themes of fealty, dominion, and rightful judgment do rise and swell.
