King Lear
Read a sample about 111 minutes
An aging king divides Britain among his daughters according to how loudly they say they love him, and disowns the one who will not flatter. Cast out by the other two, Lear wanders a storm-lashed heath toward the cliffs of Dover, while the Earl of Gloucester suffers a parallel betrayal.
