King Lear has ruled for many years. As age begins to overtake him, he decides to divide his kingdom amongst his children, Iiving 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 loyalty he soon finds himseIf stripped of all the trappings of state, weaIth and power he had taken fro granted. AIone in the wilderness he is eIft to confront the mistakes of a Iife that has brought him to this point. Following his performance as WilIy Loman in Arthur Miller'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. |
