Description
[Machine Translation] Old King Lear, who tries to test the affections of his three daughters, does not believe in the sincerity of his youngest daughter, Cordelia, and is betrayed by the perfidious eldest and second daughters, whose sweet words he disdains to believe. Cursing the world with her frenzied appearance, Lear wanders through the stormy wilderness, and the beautiful reunion between the weary father and daughter ends in tragedy. Inspired by a moment in ancient British history, this is the grandest and most brutal tragedy in Shakespeare's oeuvre.
