IMDb tt7164720/ Summary “King Lear has three daughters, but no sons. Boldly he makes a decision to divide his kingdom among his children, but fails to anticipate the consequences of his actions. His generosity is cruelly repaid and Lear finds himself adrift, wandering homeless and destitute. As he comes to realize the false values by which he has lived, he finally encounters his own humanity.“ Cast and creatives directed for the stage by Nancy Meckler directed for the screen by Ian Russell Goneril Emily Bruni Gloucester Burt Caesar Edmund Ralph Davis Edgar Joshua James Lear Kevin R.

The reason is that, for now, the original encode and screen capture resides on that index. It can be found with a torrent search engine. Where possible I am not duplicating but making alternatives to access of these live productions. In this Lear I’ve left on a bit of the closing remarks by the presenter since the credit roll comes afterward. Please note in those remarks the ability via stream to get up to 60 Globe productions. I do not have this capability in any way. Notes written December 17th, 2017
