Archaic TV production by Peter Brook and company omits the subplots and focuses strictly on the disintegration of King Lear. I must admit difficulty in following the language of Shakespeare, only being able to make out a word here or there. Welles is appropriately grandiloquent, but only the last scene, dragging the dead body of Cordelia to the throne, made any lasting impression on me.
