Here's a riddle! Take a Fool and a King - which one's the fool? If the king is Lear - the answer may seem obvious. A mixture of Shakespeare's King Lear, Nahum Tate's Restoration version and the old chronicle play King Lear, And My Poor Fool is Hang'd steps outside the familiar, tortured tale and lets Lear and the Fool view it as outsiders, considering the wisdom the story contains, while the Fool tries to lead Lear to a better understanding of himself.
