We received our assessment question for King Lear today, can anyone who's done King Lear or is studying it at present please help ?? 
Task:
Choose a character from the Tragedy of King Lear
Select 3 extracts relevant to that particular character
Imagine you are the director of a new production of this play, which is to be performed in a contemporary context.
Write a detailed explanation of how you intend to represent the character you have chosen.
You may consider such things as:
The values represented in the extracts and the different ways they may be interpreted in a contemporary context.
The ways in which you might highligh some of the contradictions in this character.
Any ideas of which characters best suit this task ? and what scenes I should choose to represent the character ?? Any help is appreciated .
