"Shakespeare's bitter tragedy, translated into Russian, about misplaced trust, envy, power, and filial ingratitude. The aged Lear seeks a testimony of love from each of his three daughters. One response leads to the banishment of his loyal daughter, plunging Lear's Britain into civil war. Unable to face reality until he is stripped of his wealth and honors and sent into the storm to beg, Lear shifts slowly from a dictatorial old man to a sad defeated wreck, descending into madness."

"Award-winning production of the classic Shakespeare play in which an old king prematurely divides his kingdom among his three daughters."
"King Lear, which many critics consider the most evocative of Shakespeare's tragedies, deals with the twin themes of blindness and blood. Lear, who is unwilling to distinguish the true motives of his three daughters, banishes his honest daughter, Cordelia, and unwisely awards the realm to Goneril and Regan and their husbands. The ensuing treachery eventually causes Lear to lose control of his mind, but in his complete destitution, he begins to know himself as a human being. Bob Jones Jr., who was an accomplished and respected Shakespearean actor, brings to the role of Lear a wealth of stage experience, which makes this 1991 Classic Players production both convincing and compelling. - Container."
