Henry Dunbar, the once all-powerful head of a global corporation, is 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. But who will find him first, his beloved youngest daughter, or the two older sisters who are so keen to divest him of his estate? A retelling of "King Lear" and part of the Hogarth Shakespeare series.
