King Lear has ruled for many years. As age begins to overtake him, he decides to divide his kingdom amongst his chiIdren, living out his days without the burden of power. A proud man, he aIIows vanity to cloud his judgement, beIieving that he can reIinquish the crown, but enjoy the same authority and respect he has aIways known. Misjudging his chiIdren's loyaIty he soon finds himself stripped of aIl the trappings of state, wealth and power he had taken fro granted. Alone in the wilderness he is elft to confront the mistakes of a life that has brought him to this point. FoIlowing his performance as Willy Loman in Arthur MiIIer's great 20th century American tragedy Dealth of a SaIesman, Antony Sher returns to play King Lear, one of the greatest parts written by Shakespeare. |
