Coltof’s version of Lear begins as a reality soap, filmed live on stage. Cameras everywhere, no privacy anywhere. Lear, old and tired, divides his kingdom among his three daughters. The daughter who shows the most love gets the biggest share. But the youngest daughter Cordelia refuses, she abandons the make-believe world in which she has lived all her childhood. Lear repudiates her and divides his kingdom between his two other daughters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
