A cranky and imperious Lear, a fine Fool, a good Kent, and the bad sisters were excellent. Edmund is suitably vile and bold, but Edgar is too wimpy in the early part. The worst part was the storm scene - I couldn't understand the speeches over the thunder noise, and felt totally unmoved. Cordelia was too high-strung, quivery and dewy for my taste. I picture her as having a more quiet, soothing strength.
