Shakespeare's most
intensely poetic play examines the themes of ingratitude, madness
and blindness, both physical and moral: we dress ourselves
in fine clothes, hiding the evil, hypocrisy and self-serving
vices beneath folds of gold and silver.
In this chilling play,
Shakespeare strips away the layers of civilisation
and social conventions, revealing man as the "bare, forked
animal" he ultimately is.
A bleak, disturbing, yet rivetingly
powerful depiction of the consequences that flow from a selfish
old man's desire to be told how much his children love him.
