Answered By: Jesus Howard Date: created: Sep 23 2021
King LearThe toughest I think is King Lear. because it’s so hard to stay with the story. The point is that the King is a fool, and mistakes good people for bad, and bad people for good, and winds up out in the cold. But it’s hard to read all that foolishness, and treachery, and cruelty.

What is the hardest Shakespeare play
Answered By: Blake Taylor Date: created: Oct 01 2021
King LearIt is likely that King Lear is the most difficult play to perform, at least from the point of view of the lead actor. It is a physically strenuous play, and yet Lear himself is supposed to be a very old man. Therefore to be successful at playing Lear the actor has to be both very active, and elderly.
