W.Wm.Mee's 'LEAR' is a fresh look at a very old story; 'the foolish old king that gives his kingdom away to his grasping, money grubbing children.' A tale that seems right out of today's 'Fake News' or the 'Dr. Phil' show —- BUT WITH A TWIST! The main character tells the tale 'in his own words' (along with some rather 'creative editing' of the Bard's play tossed in.)
Come meet Lear, loyal Kent, the handsome snake Edmund, the fair Cordelia and the two heartless harpies of the play, Lear's elder daughters Goneril and Regan —- only this time see them all through LEAR'S EYES. Iron Age Britain's 'royal family' will seem like the squabbling neighbours next door! The 'No Fear Shakespeare Series' continues!
