Lear in Barry's portrayal moves with paternal love amid fury
The critic notes Barry keeps Lear’s fatherly core intact while raging at Cornwall and Regan. His kingly, venerable presence masks a sorrowful performance, suggesting a broader dramatic range unseen. The piece laments a recurring misstep by actors in the Gentleman Usher role, calling it a mere fancy and Surly portrayal.
