King Lear |
King Lear decides to divide
his kingdom between his three daughters on profession of their
love for him alone. When Cordelia refuses to make a public
declaration she is disinherited.
Toppled by pride and stripped of all status, King Lear heads into
the wilderness with a fool and a madman for company. Shakespeare's
great tragedy peels away the trappings of society to reveal the
unforgiving truth of the human condition through one man's self-centred
jealousy.
After their acclaimed collaboration on The Winter's Tale, David Farr once again directs the ensemble. Greg Hicks takes the title role with Kathryn Hunter playing the Fool.
