KING LEAR Synopsis: The renowned story of mistaken love, familial deceit and murder. English and drama teachers, as well as the typical playgoer, will find this feature of tremendous value. Shakespeare's own language is preserved; clarity of both language and story is achieved. Lear, the aging King of Britain, has chosen to lay aside the care of kingship and divide his kingdom among his three daughters, Gonreil, Regan and Cordelia. Their share is to be determined by their expressions of love for him. Goneril and Regan speak before the court with grandiose expressions of love, while Cordelia says she can find nothing to say. For this lack of display, she is disinherited. It later becomes evident that her love is shown in her actions, not mere words. After relinquishing his throne, Lear becomes the object of ridicule, slights and harsh treatment by the two daughters who had professed their great love. Much treachery, murder and deceit ensures and Lear and Cordelia are captured and sentenced to death after a battle between French and English forces. Cordelia is hanged and Lear, bearing her onstage dead in his arms, collapses and dies of grief.   Starring: Darryl Hickman Kitty Winn   Category: Setwork   Age Restriction: ALL AGES

Good Condition   At the start of the series, Angel has just moved to Los Angeles. He is soon visited by Doyle, a messenger sent to him on behalf of  The Powers That Be. Doyle receives visions that can guide Angel on his mission as a champion of humankind. Angel also encounters Cordelia Chase, who is trying to launch an acting career. The three group together to form  Angel Investigations, a detective agency that hopes to "help the helpless." When Doyle dies in the episode " Hero ", he passes on his 'visions' to Cordelia with a kiss. Shortly thereafter, the ex- Watcher, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, joins the group. Meanwhile, the evil law firm  Wolfram & Hart  pay increasing attention to Angel. They tempt him toward darkness when they resurrect  Darla, Angel's ex-lover and  sire  killed by Angel in the first season of  Buffy  in the episode " Angel ".  

Excellent Condition   Charles Gunn, who was introduced toward the end of the first season in the episode "War Zone", is a street-tough leader of a gang of vampire hunters. He is initially determined to kill Angel, but slowly comes to accept him and join his cause. Wolfram & Hart's star lawyer  Lindsey McDonald   primes Darla as its weapon to bring down Angel. However, Darla is brought back as a human, not a vampire. But as a human, she suffers from a terminal case of  syphilis   which she had contracted in her original life before being sired. Lindsey brings in  Drusilla, a vampire originally sired by Angelus, to restore Darla to the cause of evil. Enraged by this, Angel begins to grow darker. He cuts himself off from his staff and attempts to go after the pair himself. In despair, Angel sleeps with Darla (cf. " Reprise "), but the next morning, he has an epiphany; seeing the error of his ways, he banishes Darla and reunites with his group. When Cordelia vanishes,  Lorne, the flamboyant demon owner of  Caritas, reluctantly takes Angel and his crew to his home dimension,  Pylea, to rescue her. They return with  Winifred "Fred" Burkle, a former physics student who has been trapped in the dimension for five long years.
