hey, i did king lear aswell and hated it. i also found that finding enough info on good productions was hard, our teacher gave us some brief notes on productions, like feminist readings, family/psychological drama, traditional aristotle/greek tragedy readings, theatre of the absurd/grotesque etc. try looking on the net for productions by peter brooks, nahum tate, kathleen mcluskie, thomas mcfarland. our teacher got these notes off the english teachers association website and they're really helpful. also, the royal national theatre has done a production, and also, i think about a week or two weeks after trials theres a production of king lear being shown in sydney and our class is going, this could also be used as a production. hope this helps....nag ur teacher too....
