**** 4 star review from The Metro

"Lear’s right-hand-man Kent is a woman, played by Sinéad Cusack, and there is a strong impression of not just a man, but a country in the grip of madness. The thinking is clear: an unhinged leadership has created a political climate in which the scheming Edmund (Being Human’s Damien Molony) and the barbarity of Lear’s pitiless daughters (Dervla Kirwan and Kirsty Bushell) can thrive."
