'The most perfect specimen of the dramatic art existing in the world' Percy Bysshe ShelleyShakespeare's bleak and brutal tragedy begins when an ageing king, seeking a successor, rejects the young daughter who loves him and misplaces his trust in her malevolent sisters.

In return they strip him of his power and condemn him to a wretched wasteland of horror and insanity.

Set in a pitiless universe, King Lear is a towering, elemental masterpiece of fierce poetry and vast imaginative scope. Used and Recommended by the National TheatreGeneral Editor Stanley WellsEdited by George HunterIntroduction by Kiernan Ryan
