King Lear
Three Times, I Done It
It's devilishly
clever of Shakespeare to have written a role like Lear, demanding an actor old
enough to be convincing and by that time too old to get through it properly.
Just like Lear himself who cannot get through his own play. He's too old. He
dies before the end.
Most
Lears are like mine, only less inadequate than mine.
