King Lear - Episode 4 - Storm Still

Edgar goes into hiding as “Poor Tom”, a beggar in Golden Gate Park. Lear arrives at Gloucester’s mansion to find his servant Caius (Kent) locked in restraints. Furious, he lashes out at Cornwall, who defends his actions, and Regan, who tells him to return to Goneril and ask her forgiveness. As Lear fumes at her, Goneril arrives in the courtyard to the open embrace of her sister. Together, they whittle away at Lear’s entourage as a storm approaches, eventually telling him to dismiss all his knights. Lear rails at them and vows revenge before blindly setting out into the storm alone. Caius follows him with The Fool as Cornwall orders Gloucester to shut the doors. Later, as the storm rages in the Marin Headlands, Kent finds Lear’s Gentleman and informs him that French troops are secretly gathering in the ports to take advantage of the division between Albany and Cornwall. She urges him to deliver a message to Cordelia on Lear’s behalf.

The Play On Podcast series KING LEAR, was translated into modern English verse by MARCUS GARDLEY and directed by ERIC TING.
