Donald Stall Shakespeareis King Lem was the next undertaking of the University Players. It is the story of an old, imperious king Who foolishly divides his kingdom between his two unworthy daughters and disinherits his one loyal daughter because she refuses to flatter him as did her sisters. The self willed, domineering Lear is too vehement a person to be crushed to subsetvience by his daughters cruelty. His mind breaks under the strain of suffering and disillusionment. When he recovers his rEason his tragic experiences have given him a new sense of values, and by the time the last blow ends his newly found peace, he has become a Wiser man.
