Declaring “I am going to divide my kingdom,” an aging king of Britain puts his daughters to the test – how much do they love him? This irresistible beginning starts a classic story about fathers and children, property, power, and possession. Seduced by the flattery of his eldest daughters, King Lear banishes his youngest, Cordelia, and unknowingly sets in motion a plot of treachery and murder. Shakespeare’s tragedy about the fall and decay of the world, tells a tale of madness, tyranny, loyalty, and love.

Themes

  • King Lear makes a strange choice when dividing up his kingdom for his children. He requires them to flatter him and prove their love and affection before receiving their portion of the kingdom. Cordelia is the only one that actually loves him, but refuses to play his game. She is punished severely. Are there times in life that you face a decision to “play the game” or not? If so, what helps you decide what to do?​
