King Lear (Staged: the origins of YA’s greatest tropes)

With a foreword by Manjeet Mann, author of Run, Rebel and Roar. ‘They told me I was everything: 'tis a lie’Rediscover Shakespeare’s tale of power and treachery. The price for power is paid in blood. The ageing King Lear must divide his kingdom between his daughters; but who to choose? Goneril and Regan, who love him loudly and flatter his ego, or the self-contained Cordelia, who waits for fate to bring what it will. It is a decision that will unleash a storm upon the kingdom. A decision twisted by love, by smiles, by quiet treachery. A decision that could undo them all. King Lear is Shakespeare’s iconic tale of ego and betrayal.
