Lotto: King Lear- Scene Stealer
- Synopsis
- An advertisement for the National Lottery. Lear speaks over Cordelia’s dead body (V iii l3450-3, ` A Plague upon you...Cordelia) and then another character runs on shouting that he has won the lottery - this is enough to rouse Cordelia from the dead as she opens an eye to see what’s going on. Filmed at the Lyric, Hammersmith.
