Shakespeare's King Lear--

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Lear

I just watched the 2018 version--with Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson and Emma Watson as King Lear,Goneril and Cordelia--respectively.

I also saw Ran about 30 years ago.

I prefer a young Fool, but version with Hopkins has an old Fool.
