Publisher Summary
 

BBC Radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.

Some of the most stirring scenes Shakespeare ever wrote vibrate with powerful resonance in this grippingly dramatic radio production. Tortured madness, pure evil, and the fatal struggle for power grip the listener until the final, shockingly tragic conclusion.

Revitalised, original, and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.

Review by Cat from The United States | 6/2/2011

An amazing and intense tale of Shakespeares. I will never forget reading the scene where it's a monologue of Lear's and he's cursing the skies.

Review by Jennifer from Brooklyn, NY | 5/29/2011

Re-read this Shakespearean classic to fully prepare for Saturday's performance of "King Lear" by Sir Derek Jacobi. I can't wait to see him in this role!

This was required reading in my freshman comp class at Bellarmine. This play was included in our literature anthology, "The Experience of Literature" by Lionell Trilling.
