Our Shakespeare VR project puts you at the heart of this iconic scene from King Lear.
Act II / Scene iii
Framed by his half-brother Edmund, Edgar flees his home having been accused of planning to murder their father, the Earl of Gloucester.
In order to evade capture, and inevitable execution, Edgar decides to disguise himself as the mad and impoverished Poor Tom.
Edgar is an innocent man. Edgar is a hunted man.
