I haven't seen his Lear. He was good as Claudius in the BBC version of Hamlet. And he was great as Leontes in The Winter's Tale.

I know I’ve seen at least parts of his King Lear, but you know how it was with old, broadcast TV ... you go to the bathroom, and then someone spills something in the kitchen, and the next thing you know, you missed half of it. What did people do before VCRs?

I’ll have to check the library for the “Hamlet.” I didn’t like Kenneth Branagh’s film a bit, in spite of its having every living great actor in it.

We studied “Waiting for Godot” in high school, too, and felt very absurdist, I’m sure ... but basically, it’s BO-RING.
