| Summary: | King Lear has ruled for many years. As age begins to overtake him, he decides to divide his kingdom amongst his children, living out his days without the burden of power.

Misjudging his children's loyalty he soon finds himself stripped of all the trappings of state, wealth and power he has taken for granted. |
