Incredibly pleased to see my review of @LearsShadowFilm in @ShaxBull 38.4, a reflective piece on @brianelerding's intimate and affecting 'adaptation-adjacent' of King Lear. Many thanks to @DrPeteKirwan for the opportunity to review and for his generous editorial support!

@LearsShadowFilm @DavidBlue @FredCross @AsiaLeMasters @ensembleshakes Brilliantly acted, the character's interaction was perfect. I've never read Shakespeare and this was a lovely intro to King Lear. Well done all on an amazing film. #LearsShadow
