King Lear

King Lear tells the tale of a King in pre-Roman Britain. Lear transfers his holdings and power to two of his three daughters after the two profess their affection for him. His third daughter refuses to fawn over him and gets nothing.

Once the two daughters have power, they treat Lear with disrespect, driving Lear into madness and the kingdom into chaos. Once spurned by the first two Lear reconciles with his third daughter, but before long tragedy strikes.
