My Perfect Mind
Synopsis:
Acclaimed classical actor Edward Petherbridge was cast as King Lear when, on the second day of rehearsals, he suffered a stroke that left him barely able to move. As he struggled to recover Edward made a discovery: the entire role of Lear still existed word for word in his mind. From being on the brink of playing one of Shakespeares most revered roles, to lying in a hospital bed, Edward had never imagined what tragedies and comedies lay in store for him.
