King Lear (Absolute Classics)

"Allow not nature more than nature needs Man's life is cheap as beast's" Often regarded as one of the most supreme products of the human mind, King Lear dazzles us with its power, its range and its artistry. In a world where bitterness and innocence, correction and irresponsibility effortlessly co-exist, this play takes us to the very heart of what it is to be human. Production by the English Touring Company from September to December 2002, with Timothy West as Lear.
