In King Lear, by William Shakespeare, there is a kingdom to divide in three. Three are the heir daughters and each will get a share, the greater the demonstration of their affection for the king. The premise is simple and an open door to quackery. On one side, a king who seeks to buy the love of his daughters. On the other, two daughters who do not spare in sweet words and vows of eternal love for the king. Cordelia, the youngest, refuses to take part in the farce. An end is in sight and the king tries to free himself from the burden of managing the kingdom, while seeking shelter with his daughters. On the one hand, the urgency to continue a legacy - the kingdom. On the other, the need for care and protection - old age. Side by side and accomplices in the staging of the play are António Capelo and Bruno Martins. The former, actor, founder and director of the theatre school and company in Porto, and here: King Lear. The second, an ex-student, if you like... former apprentice, actor and director-artist of the Famalicão Company, and here: director of the play.
