“I am a man, More sinn’d against than sinning”
In Ancient Britain an aged King Lear weary of the burden of his position decides to divide his realm between his 3 daughters. When his trust is abused and the rashness of his decision is realised his outraged sense of powerlessness and emasculation sets him on a chaotic course towards madness and death.
Now at the age of “fourscore and upward”, veteran actor Joss Ackland takes on the Everest of Shakespearean roles in a unprecedented play reading of King Lear.
Directed by Jonathan Miller and supported by *Tony Britton, Vernon Dobtcheff, Shaun Dooley, Clare Higgins, John Nettles, Christopher Naylor, Tony Robinson, Barrie Rutter, Greta Scacchi, Jack Tarlton and Robert Young.
