  • "When England's aging King Lear renounces his throne to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, treachery, madness and murder soon follow. After banishing Cordelia, his most loyal daughter, Lear is betrayed and cast out by her elder sisters Regan and Goneril. Meanwhile, evil brews at the Gloucester castle as Edgar falls victim to his brother's deception. As battle lines are drawn and backs are stabbed, Lear rages against a fearsome storm. Can a man undo his wrongs? Will Cordelia be saved? Or will the wheels of fate crush all in its way?"@en
  • "The Royal Shakespeare Company's adaptation of the Bard's famous tale of jealously and betrayal. This lavish interpretation features an all star cast. King Lear, old and tired, divides his kingdom among his daughters, giving great importance to their protestations of love for him. When Cordelia, youngest and most honest, refuses to idly flatter the old man in return for favour, he banishes her and turns to his remaining daughters for support. But Goneril and Regan have no love for their miserly father and instead plot to take all his power from him. Meanwhile, Lear's loyal courtier Gloucester gives favour to his illegitimate son Edmund after believing callous lies told about his faithful son Edgar. As madness and mortality catch up with the ageing men, betrayals lead to tragedies as fate summons their actions and judges the accountability of all the players."
