King Lear stands alongside Hamlet as one of the most profound expressions of tragic drama in literature. Written between 1604 and 1605, it represents Shakespeare at the height of his dramatic power. Drawing on ancient British history, Shakespeare constructs a plot that reads like a fable in its clear-sighted but terrifying simplicity. The ageing King Lear calls his daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia, to witness that he wishes "to shake all cares and business from our age" and divide his kingdom between his three children. When Cordelia refuses to flatter her father with sycophantic words of love, her banishment leads to chaos and civil war as Lear's disastrous "division of the kingdom" gives free reign to the greed and ambition of his two remaining daughters.

Henry V written by William Shakespeare performed by Ian Holm, Ian McKellen, Sir John Gielgud and Edward de Suoza on Cassette (Unabridged)£29.99 - £39.99
"Henry V" appeals in a number of ways because of its different layers of meaning. For the simple-minded, it is drums, trumpets and heroic words and deeds. But in the end there is enough futility for the cynic, too.
