The most revered actor of the second half of the twentieth century in Poland is generally considered to be Tadeusz Łomnicki, who died in 1992 of a heart attack while rehearsing King Lear.

King Lear is a tragedy by William Shakespeare.

King Lear, who is elderly and wants to retire from power, decides to divide his realm among his three daughters, and offers the largest share to the one who loves him best.

Lear is further enraged by Kent's protests, and banishes him from the country.

Lear is enraged but impotent.

Albany has developed a conscience-he is disgusted by the sisters ' treatment of Lear, and the mutilation of Gloucester, and denounces Goneril.

Kent leads Lear to the French army, which is accompanied by Cordelia.

But Lear is half-mad and terribly embarrassed by his earlier follies.

Lear, who is now completely mad appears.

Lear rants that the whole world is corrupt and runs off.

The dying Edmund decides, though he admits it is against his own character, to try and save Lear and Cordelia: however, he is too late.

It is unclear whether he intends to commit suicide out of his great regard for Lear, or feels he is going to die in the same manner as Lear and Gloucester.

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.

King Lear is thus an allegory.

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.

Her characterisation of Lear is that of a child being mothered, but without real mothers, his children become the daughter-mother figures.

The situation is now a reversal of parent-child roles, in which Lear ’ s madness is essentially a childlike rage from being deprived of maternal care.

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.

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.

Many prominent intellectuals, including the author and activist Gore Vidal, All in the Family creator Norman Lear, and the editors of the liberal magazine The New Republic, also endorsed the Anderson campaign.

Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, published 1590, also contains a character named Cordelia, who also dies from hanging, as in King Lear.

He also reduced the prominence of the Edgar-Cordelia love story, in order to focus more on the relationship between Lear and his daughters.

A number of women have played male roles in King Lear ; most commonly the Fool, who has been played ( among others ) by Judy Davis and Emma Thompson but also, significantly, Lear himself, played by Marianne Hoppe in 1990 and by Kathryn Hunter in 1996-7.

She also played Cordelia in King Lear, Imogen in Cymbeline and later Olivia in Twelfth Night.

Though the works of other writers were also used, notably Lewis Carroll and Ogden Nash, Lear's works were the main source, and characters like The Yongy Bonghy Bo and The Unmbrageous Umbrella Maker were all Lear creations.

Some original material was also written based on characters created by Lear, although much of the material was a straight recital of poems and limericks or songs using Lear's poems set to music.

He also illustrated more than 50 works by other authors, including Samuel Beckett, Edward Lear, John Bellairs, H. G. Wells, Alain-Fournier, Charles Dickens, T. S. Eliot, Hilaire Belloc, Muriel Spark, Florence Parry Heide, John Updike, John Ciardi and Felicia Lamport.

Lear also eliminated some of the internal parts of the Eash cartridge, such as the tape-tensioning mechanism and an interlock that prevented tape spillage.

William Shakespeare borrowed from it for the Gloucester subplot of King Lear ; parts of it were also dramatised by John Day and James Shirley.

According to his 2007 programme CV, Warner's other work for the theatre has included The Great Exhibition at Hampstead Theatre ( February 1972 ); I, Claudius at the Queen's Theatre ( July 1972 ); A Feast of Snails at the Lyric Theatre ( February 2002 ); Where There's a Will at the Theatre Royal, Bath ; King Lear at Chichester Festival Theatre ( in 2005, see details below ); and also Major Barbara on Broadway.

Until the 1900s there was a tradition that the actor who plays Polonius also plays the quick-witted gravedigger in Act V. This bit suggests that the actor who played Polonius was an actor used to playing clowns much like the Fool in King Lear: not a doddering old fool, but an alive and intelligent master of illusion and misdirection.

Lear was also the Price-dressed covergirl for Roxy Music's 1973 album For Your Pleasure.
