Dunbar: King Lear (Shakespeare Retold)
UK delivery from £4.50 · Free over £30
Shakespeare’s King Lear is reimagined in Edward St Aubyn's gripping story of a media mogul who has lost control.
Henry Dunbar, the once all-powerful head of a global media corporation, is not having a good day. In his dotage he handed over care of the corporation to his two eldest daughters, Abby and Megan. But relations quickly soured, leaving him to doubt the wisdom of past decisions.
Now imprisoned in a care home in the Lake District with only a demented alcoholic comedian as company, Dunbar starts planning his escape. As he flees into the hills, his family is hot on his heels. Who will find him first, his beloved youngest daughter, Florence, or the tigresses Abby and Megan, so keen to divest him of his estate?
‘Malevolently enjoyable… A fable of fatherly neglect and daughterly cruelty’ Financial Times
‘Deeply affecting…and funny’ Observer
SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as you’ve never seen him before: nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin.
