The dangers of playing favourites with your children.
Shakespeare's powerful epic and crowning masterpiece.
When the mighty, venerable King Lear abdicates, he divides his kingdom by means of a test; which of his daughters loves him most. His youngest, Cordelia, refuses to play along. Lear, his vanity hurt, cruelly banishes her.
Stripped of power, Lear is abused shamefully by his other daughters Goneril and Regan. The kingdom descends into anarchy and Lear, abandoned by all but a few loyal followers, wanders crazed on a wind-blastEd Heath, cursing mankind for its cruelty and hypocrisy.
One of the greatest works in Western literature, Shakespeare's King Lear is an epic story of power, loyalty, jealousy and betrayal, and a profoundly moving study of human frailty and the nature of love. Shifting its focus from family to community, to country and beyond, this play questions the very centre of our moral being.
