Sweet marjoram, this was a tragic tale. I did not think, on pre-reading a summary, that I would like this book. And it was pretty bleak and heavy. I like happy endings. But it represents well the dark emptiness of pursuing greed and selfishness, and the power of that evil to overwhelm the goodness around.
slow-paced
I found this play a bit convoluted at first- there’s a large cast of characters, many of whom have multiple identities over the course of the play. However, the storyline is beautiful and heartbreaking, as a good tragedy should be. One of my new favorites.

I just don’t understand shakespeare and it really irritates me and thus hinders my enjoyment but the legit king lear was a wee bit crazy your first daughter was speaking facts there was no need to get your knickers in a twist and send her away which is the trigger for the rest of the play so I liked it I guess but confused definitely

Bueno, pues aquí ando llorando como una magdalena. Sin palabras. Una obra tan certera en sus mensajes como compleja. Creo que es la tragedia más difícil a la que me he enfrentado pero también la más rica. Y a nivel actoral presenta muchísimos retos.
Sin palabras.
Formato: Obra de teatro grabada prestada en formato digital de la Teatroteca.
Reseña (Sin spoilers): Pronto.

I am speechless.
I wanted to read this play since it appeared in 'If we were villains' but I never had the chance to read it. Probably it is not the chance what I lacked of but the courage. I had my doubts when I decided to make 'King Lear' my next Shakespeare´s play of one-sitting reading. I knew for certain that symbolism and the complexity of it would make this play, probably, a challenge. And I was right...it is the most difficult tragedy I have faced. It has been a challenge...but it was so worthy.
