Sir Laurence Olivier stars in this Emmy Award winning production of Shakespeare’s King Lear, critically acclaimed as a true film classic. Olivier’s performance is described as “….a performance as great as anything he has ever done in his illustrious career”. Stunningly portrayed here by Olivier & a marvellous high calibre support cast, Shakepeare’s King Lear is a tragedy of epic proportions. A timeless tale of greed and lust for power, it is the story of a tyrant king, his scheming children and lost loyalties.
