This has to be the most brutal thing Shakespeare had ever written. Especially if you have aging family member in a similar situation as Lear. Truly a tour de force for the Bard and any actor with the guts and stamina to perform such a tragic and demanding role of a lifetime. I would recommend getting this version since it has both the original text and a very easy to read 'translation' in side by side format with side notes in the margin of the translation.
