The only two significant big-screen performances of Shakespeare's text date from the early 1970s: Grigori Kozintsev was working on his Korol Lir at the same time as Peter Brook was filming his King Lear.

In addition to Hamlet, which he played over 500 times in six productions, he gave what some consider definitive performances in The Tempest ( as Prospero ) in four productions ( and in the 1991 film Prospero's Books ), as well as in other roles-Richard II in three productions, Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing which he first played in 1930 and revived throughout the 1950s, Macbeth and Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream twice, Romeo three times, and King Lear four times ( as well as taking on the part for a final time in a radio broadcast at the age of 90 ).

And in August 2007, as an RSC Honorary Artist, he returned to Stratford for the first time in over 40 years to play Sir John Falstaff in the Courtyard Theatre revival of Henry IV, Part 1 and Henry IV, Part 2 which were part of the RSC Histories Cycle – making him the only British actor to have played Hamlet, Lear and Falstaff in major theatrical productions.

Indeed, the two theatres twice put on the same play at the same time, with Romeo and Juliet and King Lear in 1756-7.

In this way, he is less like the effervescent and reflective Shakespearean heroes / heroines such as Macbeth, Hamlet, Lear and Cleopatra, and more like figures from ancient classical literature such as Achilles, Odysseus, and Aeneas — or, to turn to literary creations from Shakespeare's time, the Marlovian conqueror Tamburlaine, whose militaristic pride finds its parallel in Coriolanus.

After the Licensing Act of 1737, one fourth of the plays performed were by Shakespeare, and on at least two occasions rival London playhouses staged the very same Shakespeare play at the same time ( Romeo and Juliet in 1755 and King Lear the next year ) and still commanded audiences.

Le Père Goriot ( Old Father Goriot, 1835 ) was his next success, in which Balzac transposes the story of King Lear to 1820s Paris in order to rage at a society bereft of all love save the love of money.

Shakespeare's earlier version, The True Chronicle of the History of the Life and Death of King Lear and His Three Daughters, was published in quarto in 1608.

The Tragedy of King Lear, a more theatrical version, was included in the 1623 First Folio.

Besides the subplot involving the Earl of Gloucester and his sons, the principal innovation Shakespeare made to this story was the death of Cordelia and Lear at the end.

The play ’ s poignant ending scene, wherein Lear carries the body of his beloved Cordelia, was of great importance to Freud.

His version had a powerful emotional impact: Lear driven to madness by his daughters was ( in the words of one spectator, Arthur Murphy ) " the finest tragic distress ever seen on any stage " and, in contrast, the devotion shown to Lear by Cordelia ( a mix of Shakespeare's, Tate's and Garrick's contributions to the part ) moved the audience to tears.

King Lear was politically controversial during the period of George III's madness, and as a result was not performed at all in the two professional theatres of London from 1811 to 1820: but was then the subject of major productions in both, within three months of his death.

Poel was influenced by a performance of King Lear directed by Jocza Savits at the Hoftheater in Munich in 1890, set on an apron stage with a three-tier Globe-like reconstruction theatre as its backdrop.

The character of Lear in the nineteenth century was often that of a frail old man from the opening scene, but Lears of the twentieth century often began the play as strong men displaying regal authority, including John Gielgud, Donald Wolfit and Donald Sinden.

The last of the great actor-managers, Donald Wolfit, played Lear on a Stonehenge-like set in 1944 and was praised by James Agate as " the greatest piece of Shakespearean acting since I have been privileged to write for the Sunday Times ".

He is destined to follow in the same path to ruin and madness ; unlike Shakespeare's Lear ( but quite like the way Lear was often staged from the English Restoration well into the 19th century ), there is a relatively happy ending, with differences set right and David Moishele living to forgive and be reconciled with his children.

Severn also painted such works as Cordelia Watching by the Bed of Lear, Shepherds in the Campagna, Shelley Composing Prometheus Unbound, Isabella and the Pot of Basil, Portia with the Casket, Ariel, Rienzi, The Infant of the Apocalypse Saved from the Dragon, a large altarpiece for the church of San Paolo fuori le Mura at Rome, and many portraits of statesman and aristocrats, including Baron Bunsen and William Gladstone.

Shakespeare, for instance, alluded to the legend that Scythians ate their children in his play King Lear:

King Lear is also a literary variant of a common fairy tale, Love Like Salt, Aarne-Thompson type 923, in which a father rejects his youngest daughter for a statement of her love that does not please him.

According to Kahn, Lear in his old age regresses to an infantile disposition, and now seeks for a love that is normally satisfied by a mothering woman.

Lear ’ s contest of love serves as the binding agreement ; his daughters will get their inheritance provided they care for him, especially Cordelia, whose " kind nursery " he will greatly depend on.

Even when Lear and Cordelia are captured together, this madness persists as Lear envisions a nursery in prison, where Cordelia ’ s sole existence is for him.

The play opens with a formal ceremony in which King Lear seemingly divides his kingdom among his daughters according to their avowals of their love for him.

If this were a test, it would make most sense for Lear to hear out all three daughters before starting to divide the kingdom.

" Dmitri Shostakovich provided an epic score, its motifs including an ( increasingly ironic ) trumpet fanfare for Lear, and a five-bar " Call to Death " marking each character's demise.
