it's interesting because paradoxically "king lear" is my the language, shakespeare's language by lear and in "lear" so so striped to the bone and so powerful. so concrete and dangerous and true and he never loses sight of the soft humanity, the delightful relationship of the fool of leer. we're all in love with cordelia for all her brashness at the beginning with lear. i think maybe crudely and clumsily i've spent a lot of time thinking over lear and so now... >> rose: it's crude, do you think? >> yeah, i think it's probably wrong. i don't think it's true at all. i think young people can imagine age just as... an englishman could imagine italy. i... maybe "lear" will be a production that i do-- when i do it without a hunch. >> rose: when will you do it? >> i don know:. >> re: but is it next up for you? >> no, next up for me is apush kin. i'm doing a new dramatization of that. it's the last thing the great english poet adrian mitchell wrote before he died. and we haven't done itet. and that's pushkin trying to look at russian history very consciously borrowing from shakespeare's histor
