The one he loved the most has left him and gone away, for good. And now he has nothing. Top that with the fact that he isn’t getting any younger. But more than anything else, he is depressed because he has been forced to perform this play. Directed by Rajat Kapoor and enacted by Vinay Pathak, ‘Nothing Like Lear’ is an engrossing one-man show that will have you glued to your seat from the start.
