When we reached the door at the bottom of the stairs, Ass opened it and waved for me to head inside. I stopped for a moment, taking in the unfinished basement—concrete walls and floors, exposed wooden beams, a light dangling from a cord in the middle of the room—then entered Wonderland. I saw Sy standing on the other side, two guys already in front of him, in a semicircle, each down on one knee. They were bare-ass naked, no one seeming to give any shits or think it was weird or scary to be walking into what appeared to be very much the sex cult the rumor mill claimed their crew to be.

In the 2012 romantic comedy If I Were You, there is a reference to the play when the lead characters are cast in a female version of King Lear set in modern times, with Marcia Gay Harden cast in the Lear role and Leonor Watling as "the fool". Lear is an executive in a corporate empire instead of a literal one, being phased out of her position. The off-beat play (and its cast) is a major plot element of the movie.

Or was that just how hot I got when he was inches from me?And once I got off work, I found my desire only intensified as I kept looking at that finger he’d touched, thinking about how it felt…how it would feel to have my body pressed against his. Yet? No, not yet. I wasn’t into this…these games, whatever they were. Although, Sy had a way of making them sound so fun. So exciting.

Kent tells a gentleman that a French army has landed in Britain, aiming to reinstate Lear to the throne. He then sends the gentleman to give Cordelia a message while he looks for King Lear on the heath. Meanwhile, Edmund learns that Gloucester is aware of France's impending invasion and betrays his father to Cornwall, Regan, and Goneril. Once Edmund leaves with Goneril to warn Albany about the invasion, Gloucester is arrested, and Regan and Cornwall gouge out Gloucester's eyes. As they do this, a servant is overcome with horror and comes to Gloucester's defence, mortally wounding Cornwall. Regan kills the servant and tells Gloucester that Edmund betrayed him. Then, as she did to her father in Act II, she sends Gloucester out to wander the heath. Don’t worry. Nothing that will put a damper on the fun. The first is, of course, you will do as I say.

Shouldn’t be any need for it tonight, but in case it arises, I feel it’s helpful to know.” As I rolled on the condom, Hole continued working his way inside Sy—increasing my jealousy, my own desire to be in there.

The source of the subplot involving Gloucester, Edgar, and Edmund is a tale in Philip Sidney's Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia (1580–90), with a blind Paphlagonian king and his two sons, Leonatus and Plexitrus.

You knew it was going to be interesting. Just relax. Trust me. I’ll make it more than worth it.”
