Description
Edward Bond's version of Lear's story explores the darker aspects of human nature and society. A powerful play that delves into the consequences of unchecked power and corruption, it reveals how violence can be inherent in any unjust system. Blindness is used as a metaphor for insight in this thought-provoking work, warning against the dangers of subordinating justice to power. The result is a nuanced exploration of social morality and the destructive nature of aggression when left unchecked. This edition features 11 printings, offering a unique perspective on a timeless and thought-provoking story.
