About this album

King Lear is a landmark radio adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy, turning one of theatre’s darkest studies of power and betrayal into an intimate audio drama. Centred on the collapse of an ageing king and the devastation that follows his division of the kingdom, the work remains one of Shakespeare’s most enduring explorations of authority, family and madness. Its dramatic concentration makes the language feel immediate and the emotional stakes punishingly clear, helping secure King Lear’s place as a cornerstone of English literature and a touchstone for performers, directors and listeners alike. The story’s severity and moral ambiguity continue to resonate across centuries.
