A Liverpool Lear. Well, why not. He’s translated to Iowa and he’s translated to Japan. So why is this version so shite then, even with Richard Harris as the great patriarch?

Resetting Shakespeare into the present day happens all the time. Baz Luhrman pulled it off fantastically with his R+J. This silly attempt to paint Denmark as a corporation is just pointless and an almost total failure.
