The Relevance of King Lear for 2009                                                                   March 1, 2009

 

 Dear Nephew,

Eb and I just came back from a performance of King Lear and I remarked how wondrous it is that Shakespeare's relevance never wanes age after age.

"And how is Lear relevant now?" he asked.

"Well," I said, "It's about a real estate deal gone bad - real bad."

 Yours truly,
Great Aunt Maggie Pye
