Shakespeare’s King Lear in Adaption – Ashley Bender
Thursday, December 3, 1:00-2:30 p.m. at TWU
Between 1681 and the early nineteenth century, the most popular stage version of Shakespeare’s King Lear was not, in fact, Shakespeare’s. This distinction belonged to Nahum Tate, a late seventeenth-century playwright who, along with a number of his contemporaries, altered Shakespeare’s works to suit the Restoration stage. While Shakespeare’s play (which has its own complicated textual history) has also been restored, its artistic and dramatic superiority acknowledged, Tate’s is no less important a cultural artifact. Join Ashley Bender, Assistant Professor of English at TWU, for a comparison of key scenes from Shakespeare’s and Tate’s versions of Lear.
