3.0

King Lear is now a noir and set in present day Alaska and instead of a royal family we have a crime family. Power is divided, the youngest child (a son who works as a male nurse and wants no part of the criminal life) rejects his piece of the action and is essentially disowned. If you're familiar with King Lear you know how this goes. It was a neat experiment though and then almost wispy black and white art fit the environment perfectly.
