In one of William Shakespeare’s greatest and most renowned tragedies in history, the aging King Lear decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters based on their flattery. Outraged by the honesty of his youngest daughter and her refusal to sycophantly praise him, he strips her of her inheritance, only to fall into the treacherous trap of betrayal sprung by his two eldest daughters, who strip him of his power and cast him out into the wilderness. It is a terrifying and profound theatrical embodiment of filial ingratitude, the loss of authority, and belated remorse in a breathtaking tragic conflict portrayed by the world's most celebrated giants of the stage. A timeless literary epic translated into every language, it reveals how a single word of truth can save a soul, and how greed can transform the closest of kin into enemies.
