Based on Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy, Lear is about a young woman who plots to steal the throne and the kingdom from her father. She plans to destroy and ultimately kill him. The old man is blind to her evil plotting and instead disowns his younger daughter, who truly loves him. The passionate conflict between the father and elder daughter thereafter ends in much bloodshed and loss of innocent lives.
