The tragedy of William Shakespeare starring the always remembered and applauded Alfredo Alcón and directed by Rubén Szchumacher impacts for its interpretive quality and for the modern setting in which the hardships of the human king, orphan of love and victim of the perfidy of his daughters, Goneril (Mónica Santibánez) and Regan (Paula Canals) and unable to recognize the true affection of Cordelia (María Zambelli) who speaks to her with frankness that the king punishes by denying her and punishing her to exile.

Human struggles and passions are also presented in the story of the Duke of Gloucester (Roberto Carnaghi) and the conflict between his sons, the legitimate one (Joaquín Furriel) and the bastard (Juan Gil Navarro). In these games of lies and truth, of fallacies and sincere, the character of the madman appears, represented by Roberto Castro, the only one who confronts Lear with the truth; and the faithful Kent (Horacio Peña) who, disguised, accompanies him to exile.
