About this product

Product Information

Masterpiece Theatre presents this adaptation of one of Shakespeare's greatest tradgedies, KING LEAR. Ian Holm, in the performance of a lifetime, stars as Lear, the king who, near the end of his life, begins to become psychologically unraveled, a process aided by the scheming of two of his daughters, Goneril and Regan. Thankfully, this Royal National Theatre production preserves both the often omitted character of the fool, Lear's shadow, and the parallel plot of Gloucester and his two sons, Edmund and Edgar. Dark, pessimistic, poetic, and intensely moving, KING LEAR has always been one of Shakespeare's most thrilling and emotionally intense plays, but, unfortunately, has never been produced appropriately on either television or film. Thankfully, Masterpiece Theatre has preserved a Lear for the ages that not only offers a slew of great performances, but an original staging of the action that reaches its apex with the powerful and unsettling storm scene (Act III, Scene IV) that, once seen, is not easily forgotten.

There was a bit of a mixup on my shipment - I brought it to the attention of this seller, and he responded same day and made things right . His actions are a rare thing these days and it is very much appreciated. I would definitely from this vendor again. He handled the situation the correct way and now has a customer for life.

  • This Lear Is A Winner.

    Ian Holm plays one of the best Lears ever in this television version of the play. Keep in mind that this is also one of the most complete versions of the play. Well acted and an excellent addition to any Shakespeare DVD collection. Keep in mind that Holm is 66 years old when he did his stint as Lear. His energy level is way up and the madness of his character is wonderfully realized.

  • good transaction
