amyco Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hoping you can recommend good audio and video versions of King Lear and Tartuffe. With dramas we like to read, listen, and watch. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I love the Patrick Stewart version of Lear set in the Texas hill country. It's called King of Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Does Patrick Stewart speak with a Texas accent in that? I'm trying to imagine that, and I can't quite do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the accent. I do remember being very impressed. The biggest thing was that the setting conveyed to me the graspiness of the other daughters in a way that I didn't pick up as well when I was just reading it. (Or even when I saw it on stage in a more traditional setting.) For me, it was a setting that clicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to check this out--I love the hill country, Patrick Stewart, and Shakespeare! Sounds like a trifecta of awesomeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttichen Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 This version is abridged, but it's very good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
