Rajat Kapoor’s, Nothing Like Lear is an artistic fusion of various themes from Shakespeare’s King Lear. This postmodern adaptation adds a curiously new dimension to its context by seamlessly weaving it with the clown’s (Pathak) own experiences through life. Despite being a one-man show, it inspires a kaleidoscope of thoughts and is packed with wit and comic melancholy.
