PacRep presents King Lear

King Lear decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters. To determine their share, they need simply to express their love for him. Goneril and Regan shower him in flattery. The youngest, his beloved Cordelia, says nothing.

And so begins Lear’s descent into madness. Shakespeare’s masterpiece is a portrait of a man in decline. Yet, as his mind falters, he attains new wisdom. As people betray him, he discovers true loyalty. At his lowest ebb, he is at his best.
