Incarnate
I have never read, seen or studied King Lear and my judgement of whether this this is a good or bad adaptation may be lacking somewhat, but what I can say is that it's very interesting. If you love or appreciate the nuances and subtleties of Shakespearian language it isn't for you, as the sole actor rushes through the play reading from a script, sometimes shouting, sometimes mumbling - reading to himself more than to the audience. However, he's surrounded by all manner of wonderful items which he uses to entertain and perplex, often with the intention of torturing himself, which keeps the audience on edge, trying to guess what will happen next and frankly, if they are quite safe.
