National Theatre Live: King Lear Trailers

Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, King Lear sees two ageing fathers – one a King, one his courtier – reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends.

Reviews
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
