This updated and expanded analysis of King Lear in performance
includes new chapters on the television version of the Royal
National Theatre production directed by Richard Eyre and starring
Ian Holm; and on Akira Kurosawa's 'Ran'. Earlier chapters provide
close, detailed analyses of the stage, film and television
interpretations of John Gielgud, Harley Granville Barker, Paul
Scofield, Peter Brook, Peter Ustinov, Michael Gambon, Adrian Noble,
Grigori Kozintsev, Michael Hordern, Jonathan Miller, Laurence
Olivier and Michael Elliott. By examining such issues as the
playing of Lear, the staging of the storm and the battle, and the
choice of historical period, this book shows how interpretation and
performance are bound together, and how the play is transformed
through different historical and political contexts. This will be
essential reading for students in English, drama or film at any
level, theatregoers, and anyone involved in productions of the
play. -- .
