作为莎士比亚戏剧双峰之一的《李尔王》讲述了一个古代版的分家故事，年老昏聩的李尔王受到了虚伪而谄媚的大女儿和二女儿的哄骗，决定把自己的王土全部分给她们，而对于耿直的小女儿考狄利亚则一无所予。没想到分家之后，李尔王在大女儿和二女儿家先后遭到了冷遇与凌辱，甚至在暴风雨中流落于荒郊野外。李尔疯了，却比从前更加明白孰是孰非。成为法兰西皇后的考狄利亚赶来解救父亲，恶人都遭到了恶报，但考狄利亚也被杀死，李尔王伤心地死在了她身旁。 演绎和理解李尔王的关键在于他的情绪波动，奥利弗奖最佳男演员得主安东尼·谢尔（Antony Sher）很好地胜任了这一点。《独立报》盛赞此次他在表现李尔的愤怒与温柔时，亦显示出极高的精度，无疑使其跻身最一流的“李尔王”之列。而同样给出了四颗星的《卫报》评论认为，由皇莎艺术总监格里高利·道兰亲自执导的这一版本，以深度见长。
