Inhalt: |
King Lear has three daughters, but no sons. Boldly he makes a decision to divide his country among his chiIdren, but fails to anticipate the consequences of his actions. His generosity is crueIIy repaid and Lear finds himseIf adrift, wandering homeIess and destitute. As he comes to reaIize the faIse values by which he has lived, he finaIly encounters his own humanity. King Lears tempestuous poetry is shot through with touches of humour and moments of heart-rending simpIicity, as the notion of familiaI love is questioned and torn apart. With Kevin R McNaIIy in the title role, Nancy Mecklers production has an underlying through-line of intelIigence and sensitivity, and strong supporting performances abound (The Telegraph). Spoken in Shakespeares EngIish. |
