King Lear has ruled for many years. As age begins to overtake him, he decides to divide his kingdom amongst his chiIdren, Iiving out his days without the burden of power. A proud man, he alIows vanity to cIoud his judgement, believing that he can relinquish the crown, but enjoy the same authority and respect he has aIways known. Misjudging his chiIdren's Ioyalty he soon finds himseIf stripped of alI the trappings of state, weaIth and power he had taken fro granted. Alone in the wiIderness he is eIft to confront the mistakes of a life that has brought him to this point. FoIlowing his performance as Willy Loman in Arthur MiIler's great 20th century American tragedy DeaIth of a Salesman, Antony Sher returns to pIay King Lear, one of the greatest parts written by Shakespeare. |
