Breaking Down Lear

This really made us think about Lear and having seen both versions of the Movie I could tell who had seen what clips and who had not seen anything from either. The one huge Idea that stuck with me was that Shakespeare had created a godless world. The world just seemed to end in desolation after Lear, Cordelia, Edmund, Goneril and Regan all died, leaving Albany to rule over a dead world. This world seems devoid of light and at this point I'm not sure how much of Lear is actually based on England, where it is said to be set.

When we set up what we were going to do I was extremely surprised at how smart the set up was. The sets were like streams of memories in the moments before death. I'm not sure what to think, I just know that I cannot wait to see the exacts of what we are going to do.
