Description
Renowned as one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies, King Lear is an electric tale of an aging monarch’s decent into madness and his personal hell forged from tested love, betrayal, and a kingdom divided. It is the ultimate political thriller where King and kingdom are scorched, human nature scrutinized, and the wise are made fools. Yet, at his lowest, Lear attains new wisdom, discovers true loyalty, and finds salvation in a banished daughter’s love. King Lear is one of the deepest artistic explorations of the human condition and demonstrates how relevant the Bard’s great works are for our generation.
