PLOT

A recording of the production from the courtyard of the Supreme Purkrab of Prague Castle starring Jan Tříská. Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear is a timeless tale of love, hate, betrayal, greed and lust for power. At the end of his life, the King decides to divide the kingdom between his three daughters based on their speeches about how much they love him. In his blindness, he disinherits and exiles the most honest and beloved Cordelia. He hands over all his power to his other two daughters and only in time does he discover what he has done and gradually slips into madness.
