In a kingdom worn away by ambition and familial betrayals, an elderly king decides to divide his vast empire among his three daughters: Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia. Trapped by vanity and the pursuit of praise, Lear demands that each of them publicly declare their love for him, seeking to bolster his ego in old age. The two eldest, full of ambition and deceit, offer him gilded words, while the sincere Cordelia, refusing to partake in this farce, is disinherited and banished.
Soon, reality strikes Lear as Goneril and Regan’s true intentions are revealed before his eyes. Betrayal becomes a cruel game of power, and the king is forced to flee, facing a storm both literal and emotional. As Lear grapples with his madness, his loyal followers, including the noble Gloucester, also suffer the consequences of his daughters’ machinations. On the brink of insanity, Lear realizes the terrible mistake he made in trusting the false devotion of his daughters.
The story becomes a heart-wrenching exploration of parenthood, madness, and the struggle for redemption. As the pieces of fate shift, tragedy unfolds on a stage of disillusionment and loss, where blood ties confront the cruelty of power.
