Description
As the aging King Lear divides his kingdom amongst his three daughters to henceforth spend the rest of his life as their alternating guest without governmental responsibility, he puts them through a ‘love test’ - the initial spark for his decline into madness. In Bernd Freytag’s staging, Erik Roßbander magnificently depicts Lear who bets on the wrong horse and gradually descends into nothing. Taking place sometime in the late Middle Ages, written 400 years ago, as touching and up-to-date as if it were from today.
