I saw director Robert Falls' King Lear tonight at the Goodman Theater in Chicago. The play was simply phenomenal and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in a contemporary vision of Shakespeare's darkest poetic drama.
The character of Lear was played by Stacy Keach. I've seen Keach in alot of B-grade films, but here he completely blew me out of the water with the sheer quality of his theatrical skills.
I was very glad we had the chance to see this before it packs up and moves onto another city.
