King Lear (Shakespeare's Epic Drama / Pre Production)

Adapted from the classic play, an aging king courts disaster when he foolishly bequeaths his realm to two toadying daughters while exiling a third who refuses to flatter him but genuinely loves him. When the two conniving daughters reveal their true colors and strip him of his wealth and power, he descends into madness.

Regarded as one of William Shakespeare's greatest works, King Lear is an epic, timeless tale about the tragic consequences of ego, pride and greed.
