Sex & Nudity
-
- No actual sex or nudity of any kind
- (Deleted. Personal opinions about ratings are not appropriate for the Parents Guide.)
Violence & Gore
-
- Mild violence.
- A man cuts himself and draws blood to make falsely accuse someone else of having attacked him
- A man rips another man's eyes out. This is an intense and disturbing scene, but the portrayal of it in this film is not graphic at all and is pretty unrealistic as well. The idea, however, is still disturbing and cruel.
- A man has a duel with another man who is trying to kill his father. He kills him. This is not very graphic.
Profanity
-
- None whatsoever.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Moderate alcohol consumption by adult characters.
Frightening & Intense Scenes

- (Deleted. Personal opinions about suitable viewing ages are not appropriate for the Parents Guide.)
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- It is implied Edmund has an affair with two sisters
Violence & Gore
- Two brothers duel at the end, and one mortally wounds the other.
- The ending is notoriously sad and tragic, though the violence is not very graphic in this production. Practically every character dies.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The scene where Gloucester's eyes are ripped out is disturbing and intense, but not realistic or graphic in this production.
- The ending is very intense and sad. Regan is poisoned by her sister. Edgar kills Edmund in a duel. Goneril commits suicide. Cordelia is lynched off screen. Lear dies of grief, holding his dead daughter in his arms. Not graphic, but this is definitely an intense play overall.
