Abstract
There is one picture, of an hour glass, on dust jacket. Stage time, for Peter Brook, intensifies value of every moment as each grain of sand filters through, just as an hour glass did for medieval monk. So, is there any hint of Christian hope at end of King Lear? Yes, in Edgar's acknowledgment that those left behind, we that are young ... shall never live so long (5.3.344-45). Lear in those final moments, indeed throughout play, has experienced life in its concentrated form. He has broken through almost to another dimension, to a life beyond life, beyond wheel of fire (4.7.45) and the rack of this tough world (5.3.332).
