That evening I proceeded to the Albery Theatre where I had the opportunity of seeing the Royal Shakespeare Company perfrom King Lear. It was a long one. A nice 4 hour performance. I really enjoyed it though. I saw one of the best bits of stage combat I have ever seen. It was a broad sword battle where one Edmund had two swords taking on Edgar with one. Intense...Intense. It is funny though watching this theatre. This is the best of the best of Shakespeare and I am still so critical on the actors. There were only really two exceptional perfromaces (Edmund and Regin). I didn't especially like the set as I found it to be over minimalistic and had a boring color scheme. THe lighting though, was fantastic. There was a huge lighting storm in the middle and the effects used to create that were phenomenal! Also a really good method of waking one up around hour three of the performance.
