In Shakespeare, Cordelia dies before her father King Lear. However, in the original British legend, she outlives him and becomes Britain's ruler. Cordelia is a warrior queen, leading armies. Sadly, she is overthrown by her two nephews, who resent being ruled by a woman.

Went to see "King Lear" as performed by the actors at The Commonweal Theatre in Lanesboro, Minnesota.
Wonderful production. Modern clothing with some actors playing multiple roles.
They have this Friday and Saturday and a Sunday matinee closing show left. If you're in the area and can afford the money and time it's well worth it.

Here's another king.
Same problem with the three daughters.
Similar "hightened emotionality", reacting without consideration, lashing out.

So I looked this up…
‘Peter’ is the stage name of Shinnosuke Ikehata, a Japanese singer, dancer, and actor.
The film I was watching (which eagle-eyed viewers may have identified already) was ‘Ran’ (1985) by Akira Kurosawa. It is an adaptation of ‘King Lear’ by William Shakespeare.
‘Peter’ plays Kyoami, who is analogous to the ‘Fool’ from King Lear.
According to legend, Bladud was a king of Britain who founded the city of Bath. He was also a wizard, and created magic wings to fly. However, like Icarus, Bladud flew too high, and his wings failed, so he fell to his death. His son was Shakespeare's King Lear.

Does anyone name their daughter Goneril or is that too close to gonorrhea?

Why did Shakespeare write #KingLear when he did? Why did he write #Macbeth when he did, and then #AntonyandCleopatra? And why all in 1606? We review #JamesShapiro’s #TheYearofLear:
