About this audiobook
Descend into the storm-battered heath with an aging monarch whose vanity and foolishness strip him of his crown, his family, and his sanity. The play relentlessly strips away the trappings of civilization to reveal the raw, vulnerable animal beneath, exploring the cruelty of nature and the silence of the gods. As the subplot of a blinded father mirrors the King's suffering, the tragedy reaches a pitch of nihilistic despair rarely equaled in art. It is a shattering examination of authority, aging, and the limits of human endurance.
