In König Lear inszeniert William Shakespeare ein dramatisches Familienschicksal, das bis heute zu den eindrucksvollsten Tragödien der Weltliteratur zählt. Der greise König Lear will seine Macht abgeben – und löst damit einen zerstörerischen Sturm aus.

The content of his speech is not only a powerful instance of art imitating life, but also life imitating art, specifically a stage and the changeable drama which ensues.
