Mantell's Lear Aims for Pathos in National Theatre Return
Robert Mantell's King Lear at the National Theater draws strong pathos from the kingly moments but falls short in the forest scenes. Gordon Burley as Kent and Miss Russell as Cordelia receive praise, while Mantell's performance is strongest when the king's power asserts, yet the role's full potential remains unattained. The Merchant of Venice following the Lear production is uneven with Mantell misusing the prompt book and omitting key lyric.
