King Lear: Workshop 2
- Synopsis
- Continuing from KING LEAR: WORKSHOP 1, this programme looks in great detail at Act IV vi - the storm scene - and at Lear’s re-encounter with the blind Gloucester. Director John Russell-Brown and Julian Glover (Lear) again examine the detail of Lear’s language, which has seemingly broken down into incoherence, and reveal the intense poetry which remains.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
