Summary
PBS Masterpiece Theatre's Emmy-nominated HD presentation of The Royal Shakespeare Company's multi-award winning production of King Lear was reviewed as the greatest version in a generation. In this masterful, sympathetic rendition of the tragedy, Ian McKellen gives a powerful, once-in-a-lifetime performance as the aging monarch, driven mad by his paranoid family fantasies of the "monster ingratitude" of his daughters. The play's stage director, Trevor Nunn, and Christ Hunt direct. Amusingly, the cast includes the former Doctor Who, Sylvester McCoy, as the Fool. Filmed at Britain's legendary Pinewood Studios, historic partner in many of the world's finest films.
