King Lear




Again i like hearing what i'm reading as a way of driving home the important points in a play. Plus this is an excellent reading of King Lear. It might not match up with the Conflated edition of the play but it should be pretty close. In addition to the audio file from Librivox i was able to find a link of Ian McKellen as King Lear that is free to watch online. I haven't watched it yet so i can't so if its any good or not.

Here is the link to where you can watch the play

Here is the link to the audio recital of King Lear

Now with the audio link you need to open a new tab in your browser and post it there then hit enter. If you try to go directly from the link it doesn't connect you correctly.
