In Shakespeare's play, Cordelia dies before her father King Lear. However, in British folklore, she outlives him and becomes Britain's ruler. Cordelia is a warrior queen who leads armies. Sadly, she is overthrown by her two nephews, who resent being ruled by a woman. 🎨 Pierce Francis Connelly #FolkloreSunday #Mythology #Folklore #Literature #Theatre #Poetry #WilliamSakespeare #Shakespeare #KingLear

Oh no! Not Glenda Jackson! And after her amazing return to acting. She was unforgettable as King Lear. To think she'd been away from the stage (and from acting) for a quarter of a century. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65916692 #RIP #GlendaJackson #GreatActors #Theatre #UK #KingLear #Wirral

#Theatre performance of the year was definitely Kathryn Hunter as #KingLear at the #Globe this summer. And I so nearly didn’t go as I wasn’t in the mood for crowds or… anything really. I had forgotten who was in the title role and couldn’t work out if it was a tiny man…? Truly one of those nights when you marvel: ‘I was here.’ https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2022/jun/19/king-lear-review-shakespeares-globe-kathryn-hunter #Shakespeare #KathrynHunter
