Close Reading and Production: ‘King Lear’

Synopsis
John Russell Brown discusses key scenes from King Lear. The recording is based on the director’s dialogue with actors as a production is about to be born. It provides a focus for discussion, preferably when familiarity with the entire text has already been established. It is also a source of ideas for anyone embarking on a production of the play.
