Further cast members include Ted Levine as Kent, Mathew Jacobs as Gloucester, Danny Huston as Albany, Chris Messina as Cornwall, Stephen Dorff as Poor Tom and Rhys Coiro as Oswald. Rose, who started out making music videos for iconic pop tunes such as Bronski Beat’s ‘Why’ and ‘Smalltown Boy’ and Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s ‘Relax’, has built up a varied filmography over the past 40 years from horrors such as Paperhouse and Candyman to adaptations such as Anna Karenina and Frankenstein to the recent British-Japanese action picture Samurai Marathon. But after testing their devotion, he banishes the youngest, Cordelia, who truly loves him, placing his trust in her flattering but malevolent sisters, Goneril and Regan, who strip him of his power and condemn him to wander in a wasteland of horror and insanity.
