Lear By: Brian Triber

This screenplay adaptation of King Lear, has an interesting concept, but needs a little work.  While I like the idea of setting Lear's action in a hospital, the other action taking place via the tv in his room, makes for some repetitive moments and  some confusing moments. Some of the action no longer makes credible sense with Lear confined to a hospital (his visits to Regan and Goneril for instance).  Still a fascinating take on the tragedy of Lear!
