[Shakespeare] The Happy Ending Version of Lear

[Richard Johnston]

Dear friends,

I sent this out a couple of weeks ago, but it bounced because we were having
problems with the listserv. Anyway, I wanted to share with you a link to
Nahum Tate's version of King Lear, the one with the happy ending that was
performed on English stages for almost 150 years:

Scroll down to the final scene, which takes place in the prison, and where
King Lear stabs the soldier who has come to hang Cordelia...

Hope you all are having a nice Monday,

Rich
