    Lear, king of Britain is stepping down from the throne. He has three daughters and must split the kingdom equally among them. He tests his daughters by questioning them about their love for him. The two older daughters, Rogan and Goneril proclaim their love for the King immediately. The youngest daughter, Cordelia, who is the King’s favorite, says that she does not have any words to describe her love for her father. King Lear is furious with her answer and immediately disowns Cordelia. Cordelia flees with the king of France, who hopes to marry her. King Lear slowly realizes that he has made a terrible mistake, as his dear daughters quickly turn on him. Unable to believe that his dear daughters have betrayed him, Lear begins to grow insane. Elsewhere, the Earl of Gloucester is made to believe by his illegitimate son, Edmund that the Earl’s legitimate son, Edgar is planning to assassinate the Earl. Follow the journeys of these characters, as they attempt to uncover the truth and set things straight once and for all.
