Powerful tragedy of an aging king, betrayed by his daughters, robbed of his kingdom, descending into madness. Perhaps the bleakest of Shakespeare's tragic dramas, complete with explanatory footnotes.

Chef militaire vainqueur, soutenant l'assaut au milieu de ses troupes, il sait aussi courtiser Catherine de France, qu'il épouse pour sceller la paix retrouvée.

While Tom is at work in London, his wife Marina is left bored and alone in the small village where they live. She wishes for someone to do the housework for her and a strange thing happens. Her wish comes true; the Ironing Man enters her life, and everything begins to change for both Marina and Tom.
