William Hutt on Lear

I want you to tell me about storm well it's leer didn't it leer king stripped through everything riches loyalties standing naked in the heath blow winds and crack your cheeks rage bro do you hear the storm and then he sees his fool waiting for him in the rain standing there shivering in the cold and something in him stirs in boy he says go first an incredible thing for a king to say then he turned back into the storm and he actually praised poor naked wretches we're so err you are the bide the pelting of his pitiless storm how shall your houseless heads and unfit sides looped and windowed raggedness defend you from seasons such as this he says I've tamed too little care of this he makes the connection between his own suffering and the suffering of others he's losing his mind but on the way he's finding his heart you can go right through the ages of man with Shakespeare and at the end he gives you this enormous gift of Lear to anticipate your own decay
