Photo Flash: The Old Globe Presents KING LEAR

By:

The Old Globe's 2010 Shakespeare Festival is presenting King Lear by William Shakespeare. The show is directed by Adrian Noble and runs through September 23, 2010 at the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre

One of the greatest and most powerful dramas in western literature, King Lear is the ultimate family drama told against a background of intense political intrigue. Lear, an aging monarch, has decided to divide his kingdom between his three daughters - each to receive land and wealth in proportion to their declaration of love for him. Two of them compete to flatter their father, while the one loving daughter, Cordelia, refuses to play the game and is exiled. Seduced by his daughters flattery, Lear sets in motion a catastrophic series of events that will destroy his kingdom, his family and ultimately his sanity.
