A royal family is thrown into utter ruin by its own poisonous web
of distrust, deceit and struggle for power. Shakespeare's tragedy
is one unsurpassed power and depth. It follows the descent of the
ageing King Lear into madness, perpetuated by his malevolent
daughters Goneril and Regan who struggle to gain power over the
kingdom. Having banished his favorite daughter Cordelia, a loving,
compassionate and honest woman, when she refuses to partake in a
competition of flattery, he sets in motion a catastrophic sequence
of events that will ultimately destroy his sanity, family and
kingdom. The lines between good and evil are faultlessly drawn in
this exploration of filial ingratitude, injustice, avarice and
love. In a time when swollen words, false pretexts and the struggle
for power are again the order of the day the message of King Lear
carries renewed significance.
