Abstract：The author analyzes how Wu Hsing-kuo’s personal life is mirrored in his adaptation of King Lear, in which he performs a self-talk. Also examined are the deconstruction of the original play and the actor’s acting skills, followed by a discussion of the adaptation’s problems in terms of the Contemporary Legend Theatre’s objectives as well as traditional Chinese theater.
