Description

King Lear is a play universally acclaimed by critics and audiences.

A play which shows the Bard at the height of his playwriting skill.

It is therefore with great pleasure that we can now introduce an exciting new discovery - namely the missing first scene of King Lear, as discovered and presented here by Christopher Eve-White... Christopher Eve-White's first experience of a Shakespeare play occurred at the age of four, when - as he clearly remembers - he was convulsed by the antics in The Taming of the Shrew.

This evidently gave him a taste for the Bard, and it sometimes seems to him that, in the course of the following 70-plus years, he has seen more performances of the various plays than he has had hot dinners.

He has always found the scene at the beginning of King Lear - up to now generally thought to be the "first" scene - the most harrowing in the whole of Shakespeare.

But at the same time he has felt that it leaves some points unexplained.

He has therefore been delighted to `discover' this little work, which helps to clarify things a bit... King Lear - The Missing First Scene is a tongue-in-cheek addition to the great work which is set to appeal to all Shakespeare fans.
