King Lear at OrangeMite

An aging King divides Britain among his three daughters, but his youngest refuses to flatter him enough to earn her share. What follows leads the old man and his followers on a humbling journey across the kingdom, through moondrenched meadows to the verges of steep cliffs, questioning the human capacity for growth and decline.
