“Deluded by lies and flattery, old King Lear has sorely misjudged his daughters, placing himself into the cruel hands of his two ambitious daughters and spurning the youngest, the one who truly loves him. Only when alone and driven mad on the English heath does he realize his epic mistakes in this, Shakespeare’s stormiest tragedy.”
Bodhran, fanfares, drinking songs, and storms. Everything you could want.
