KING LEAR
by William Shakespeare | Read by Alec Guinness, Eileen Atkins, Cyril Cusack, et al.
Classics • 3 hrs. • Audio Program • © 1606
The Modern Library brings the BBC's radio production of King Lear to audio cassette. Alec Guiness is a splendid Lear, expert in his transition from a demanding and majestic father/king to a solitary, lunatic soul on a stormy mountain. Sarah Badel's Cordelia is astute and reflective. The combination of talents makes this tragedy one of the most poignant in all of Shakespeare's works. R.A.P. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPT 97]
