King Lear

 

by William Shakespeare


King Lear has decided to end his reign and divide his country among his three daughters. Loyalties are misjudged and Lear soon finds himself stripped of everything that once defined him. A classic tale full of betrayal and chaos that only the Bard could weave.​
