A terrific Donmar Warehouse production broadcast by National Theatre. Derek Jacobi seemed slowly to reveal Lear's insanity, which in retrospect was there all along. Fantastic, believable, un-caricatured Goneril and Reagan--and the best Cornwall I've ever seen. The whole play revealed subtleties of a play I know well.
Highly recommend.
