Summary

This documentary charts the staging and rehearsal process of Shakespeare's King Lear by veteran actor/director John Houseman and the Acting Company. The program proceeds chronologically from early readings to opening night and demonstrates how tentative interpretations develop into finished performances. As the physical elements--costume, lighting, props and stage movements--are arranged, Houseman is on hand to explain the different scenes and aid the actors.
