King Lear divides his kingdom among the two oldest daughters who flatter him and banishes the third one, Cordelia, who loves him. His eldest daughters both then reject him at their homes, so Lear goes mad and wanders through a storm. When Cordelia returns with an army, will their family start a civil war or find peace?
- William Shakespeare
