I’d learned quickly that’s what Sy went by around his crew—well, according to my peers, his knights. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.

I hadn’t caught his name during the gossip fests I’d overheard or in my chats with Sy, but I knew he was one of the guys who hung in Sy’s circle—the alleged sex cult.

When John Wood took the role in 1990, he played the later scenes in clothes that looked like cast-offs, inviting deliberate parallels with the uncared-for in modern Western societies. Francis Ford Coppola deliberately incorporated elements of Lear in his 1990 sequel The Godfather Part III, including Michael Corleone's attempt to retire from crime throwing his domain into anarchy, and most obviously the death of his daughter in his arms.

In 2012, renowned Canadian director Peter Hinton directed an all- First Nations production of King Lear at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, with the setting changed to an Algonquin nation in the 17th century.

For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Had to admit it was the kind of nickname that could keep me talking to a guy who I thought was trying to pull me into some bizarre-as-fuck orgy. Making a thinly veiled criticism of Brook in the process, Anikst praised the fact that there were "no attempts at sensationalism, no efforts to 'modernise' Shakespeare by introducing Freudian themes, Existentialist ideas, eroticism, or sexual perversion.
