King Lear, 1991, Royal Shakespeare Company; John Wood as King Lear.

King Lear: Director, Nicholas Hytner; Designer, David Fielding; Photographer, Douglas Cooper (ahds.ac.uk/performingarts). Royal Shakespeare Company, May 1991. "A vast open-sided revolving cube dominates Nicholas Hytner's RSC production. Each rotation signifies a further stage in the psychological and physical degeneration of the aged Lear as his golden abdication robes gradually give way to the tattered garb of the disenfranchised wanderer." Louise Kingsley, Independent. This post-modern set design may have been more memorable than significant. HMR
