    Richard Eyre's clear-eyed and crisp 1998 staging of KING LEAR for the National Theatre stars Ian Holm in the title role. This spartan production of the Shakespeare classic pulls into particular focus the family dynamics at stake in this tragic tale of an exhausted monarch dividing up his kingdom between ungrateful and conniving daughters.
