This afternoon’s jaunt to
see King Lear at the Grand Opera House worked pretty well, finishing work at
noon, getting a fast train (25 minutes) to York to arrive in plenty of time for
the matinee, and enjoying from a good seat in the circle for an intense three
hour performance from a good cast led by veteran thespian Michael Pennington; false
flattery, duplicity, usurpation, madness, torture, adultery, murder and suicide
with only two of the cast left standing by the final curtain – what’s not to
like.
