A Difficult Scene: Gloucester's Eye Gouging

Fast foward to 4:39 in this video to see the good stuff. I found that this clips takes stage direction high level. I was particularly fascinated in the eye gouging scene in King Lear not because it was gruesome, but because that sounds like a very difficult scene to portray well. This clip presents the scene as a dialogue-less flashback, but still work well to show the amount of horror meant to go into the scene. This makes me think of how more major productions of the play handle this particular moment, one of Shakespeare's most brutal.
