  Through a study of ten modern stage and screen productions of 'King Lear', this book examines the way performance and interpretation are bound together, and shows how different performances have illuminated the contradictions in this play. The updated second edition has new chapters on Ian Holm's television performance, and Akira Kurosawa's 'Ran'. -- .
