Speechlessly King Lear
The deterioration of Lear's mind and speech, the psychotic shrieking of his daughters, the destruction of the stage itself: the trajectory of McKellen's King Lear is geared head-on towards anarchy. Every semblance of order is disrupted in an assault on notions of both the anatomical body and the body politic. Sibling rivalries are paralleled against one another, political structures are broken down and the physical body is, shudderingly, torn apart.
