This RSC production with Anthony Sher was notable for his amazing acting as well as for the drama of the staging. He enters like an Egyptian carried on a tall chair from which he carves up his kingdom. Then it all goes downhill and Sher conveys excellently Lear's descent into a bewildered old age.
However, I have seen a lot of Lears and now I feel I see it more to tick off another production and actor - It is not a play that is enjoyable really in any way.
