Best. Fucking. Insult. Speech. Ever!!! A little background on messengers and what their responsibilities were - not what you think. Oswald represents Goneril and Kent represents Lear, and never the twain shall meet. Well, they meet, but it does NOT go well.

Kent reunites with Cordelia at the Highland Hospital in Oakland, where with a doctor they witness King Lear's awakening and recognition of his youngest daughter. Meanwhile, at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, Regan confesses to Edmund that she fears he is not loyal only to her, but also to her sister. Edmund tries to reassure her, but he is interrupted by Goneril and Albany, who arrive to negotiate on how to proceed with their battle plans. Once Goneril, Regan and Edmund are gone, Edgar slips in, disguised, and delivers a message to Albany to summon him upon their victory. Elsewhere, Edmund takes a moment to contemplate his future, vowing to win the battle and dispense with Albany when the time comes. Later, on Market Street in The Warfield, Edgar finds a place for Gloucester to take refuge as the battle rages. Once he learns that Lear's forces have been defeated, he encourages his father not to lose hope and together, they flee to another refuge. In the Fillmore Auditorium in The Cow Palace, Edmund savors his victory as Lear and Cordelia comfort each other in shackles. Edmund sends them to prison and instructs an army captain to follow his command concerning their fate. Albany arrives to challenge Edmund's authority in dealing with the prisoners, leading to an argument between Edmund, Albany, Goneril, and Regan, who becomes increasingly unwell as the scene progresses. The fight culminates in Albany accusing Edmund and Goneril of treason, vowing to present his proof when the trumpets sound. Edmund accepts the challenge and dares his accuser to approach.

Bathing seductively in her home, Regan uses all her powers of persuasion to delay Oswald's  delivery of a message from Goneril to Edmund (and to warn Goneril to back off of Edmund, whose heart she thinks she's won), telling Oswald to kill Gloucester at once if he ever sees him. Meanwhile, Gloucester asks Poor Tom (Edgar) to lead him to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, where he intends to jump to his death. Edgar tricks his father into thinking he's at the railing of the bridge, and Gloucester, falling forward, faints on level ground. As his father wakes, Edgar takes on a new persona, convincing Gloucester that Poor Tom was a phantom and that Gloucester has miraculously survived his fall, giving him renewed faith and hope. They are interrupted by King Lear, who rides in on a rusted bicycle, railing in fits of madness and clarity at everything he encounters until he recognizes and soothes Gloucester, only to run away again when Cordelia's soldiers spot him. Edgar leads his father from the bridge to a cable car, where Oswald, riding in the back of the cable car, sees them and tries to stab Gloucester to death. He is killed instead by Edgar, who discovers Goneril's letter to Edmund in Oswald's pocket. Father and son flee from the scene as the police approach.

Cornwall is gravely injured by a servant trying to defend Gloucester, who has been captured and tortured for aiding King Lear. Gloucester is blinded and cast out of his own home into Golden Gate Park, where he encounters “Poor Tom” (Edgar), who comes to his aid without revealing his true identity as Gloucester's son. The next morning, Goneril receives Edmund in her home and allies herself with him before a bitter feud with her now estranged husband, Albany. They are interrupted by news of Cornwall's death and Gloucester's blinding, which drives a wedge even further between Goneril and Albany. Meanwhile, Kent confers with Lear's gentleman in the French camp at Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland and advances plans with him to further assist the King. Elsewhere in the camp, Cordelia receives news of her father's poor health and sends soldiers to find him and bring him to her for aid and comfort.

26I GOT AROUND on crutches fairly well, but it wasn't really any fun. Most of the kids in Mrs. Graham's class signed my cast. Spike wrote, “You had it coming to you.” Veronica wrote, “Thanks for everything.” Clarissa signed several times. Each time she wrote, “Can you ever forgive me?”     The play was quite a success. Veronica did a creditable job as Cordelia, Spike was an excellent Regan, and Clarissa was outstanding as Goneril.     To tell the truth, I had wanted all along to play Lear myself, but I knew that no one could do a better job than Matthew, and so I gave the part to him. He was superb.     I played the Fool. Judging from the applause, I was good enough, but some people may have been applauding only out of sympathy for my broken foot.27VERONICA'S PARENTS threw a cast party in their playroom. They had set up a number of card tables around the room, covered with white paper tablecloths, and at each place was a fluted paper container of candy, a snapper, a paper hat, a paper plate, a paper napkin, and a paper cup with a fold-out handle. For a while, I felt a little sick, partly because I was reminded of all the birthday parties at which I had eaten too much ice cream and had had to throw up on the ride home, and partly because being in the playroom with Veronica beside me, the closet door right behind me, and Mr. and Mrs. McCall bustling around made me apprehensive, but the camaraderie was infectious, and I soon began to relax and enjoy myself. I was sitting at a table with Veronica, Spike, and Clarissa.     Spike was sitting on my right, and now and then she would pause in the wolfing down of her ice cream and cake, chuckle, and give me a friendly knock on the shoulder or punch in the stomach. I'm quite sure that Spike would have broken my foot when she learned that I had given the part of Cordelia to Veronica if Clarissa hadn't already broken it. As it was, seeing that my foot had been broken by someone seemed to be enough to satisfy her.     Veronica was sitting on my left. At one point she poked me and pointed downward. She had part of her skirt pulled up, and I saw that she was wearing my underpants. She hadn't returned them to me even after I had given her the part. When I told her the news, she had given me an extravagant hug, and while she was hugging me she whispered in my ear that she would hang on to them for a while just in case. I pulled back from her and told her not to forget that I had hers. “I guess that makes us even,” she said.     Clarissa was sitting opposite me, smiling and telling whoever passed that she wished she had been able to do a better job as Goneril. She had her muff in her lap, and she stroked it like a pet.     “Say,” I said. “I'd like to make a toast.” The girls sat up straight. They raised their paper cups as I had raised mine.     “To Regan, to Goneril, and to Cordelia,” I said, saluting each of them in turn with my cup. “I'm glad it's over, and I'm glad we're friends.”     “To Peter,” they answered, and we touched our raised cups. When we lowered them again, I was looking into Clarissa's big eyes. The reflection in them of the fluorescent light overhead brought on an annoying itch inside the cast on my foot.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

Edgar goes into hiding as “Poor Tom”, a beggar in Golden Gate Park. Lear arrives at Gloucester's mansion to find his servant Caius (Kent) locked in restraints. Furious, he lashes out at Cornwall, who defends his actions, and Regan, who tells him to return to Goneril and ask her forgiveness. As Lear fumes at her, Goneril arrives in the courtyard to the open embrace of her sister. Together, they whittle away at Lear's entourage as a storm approaches, eventually telling him to dismiss all his knights. Lear rails at them and vows revenge before blindly setting out into the storm alone. Caius follows him with The Fool as Cornwall orders Gloucester to shut the doors. Later, as the storm rages in the Marin Headlands, Kent finds Lear's Gentleman and informs him that French troops are secretly gathering in the ports to take advantage of the division between Albany and Cornwall. She urges him to deliver a message to Cordelia on Lear's behalf.

Synopsis. The King curses Goneril for her inhospitable treatment and sends Caius (Kent) to find Regan. Back in his car with the Fool, Lear worries about his sanity and the Fool does his best to cheer him up. Later, outside Gloucester's mansion, Edmund gets word from Curan that Cornwall and Regan will soon arrive at his father's house, and that there is likely going to be a war between Cornwall and Albany over their territory. Edmund makes the most of the opportunity by convincing Edgar to flee from the house for his own safety, then pretends he was attacked by his brother for not going along with his plot against their father. He's immediately embraced by Cornwall, who promises to promote him. That evening, Caius arrives at Gloucester's mansion and gets into a fight with Regan's servant, Oswald. Gloucester, Edmund and Cornwall break it up and question Caius, who insults the Duke and all his company with his blunt talk. In return, Cornwall and Regan order that Caius be put in restraints for the rest of the night, despite Gloucester's objection. Once alone, Kent drops his “Caius” disguise and reads a letter he secretly received from Cordelia, in which she says she may be able to resolve the conflict in Lear's kingdom.

13I ALSO ENGAGED the help of Matthew Barber. Matthew wasn't enthusiastic at first. In fact, he was convinced that the production was going to be a farce.     “Peter,” he said, “all of you are going to look like a bunch of idiots when this hits the boards.”     “‘Hits the boards'?” I asked.     “That's theater talk,” he said. “You're not very familiar with the theater, are you?” he asked.     I thought of reminding him about my success as an elf, but from the way Matthew's mouth was twisted I could tell that it wouldn't go very far toward making him think that I was “familiar with the theater.”     “No,” I confessed.     He shook his head and let out a long sigh. “I'll never understand school,” he muttered. “Look, Peter,” he said, looking me in the face and putting his hands on my shoulders, “it's not going to be easy, you know. You can't just have a bunch of kids running around the stage like madmen and fools. This is a very complicated play.”     “Oh,” I said, “we're using a simple version, just for kids.”     “I should have known,” he said. “But that doesn't make any difference. It's complicated no matter how simple they make it.     This didn't make any sense to me, but I nodded my head gravely, as if I recognized that it would be impossible not to agree.     “You've got to create an atmosphere of gloom,” said Matthew. “At the end, we've got to see that Lear has lost everything. You see? Did you read the play?”     “Oh, yeah!” I said. I was hurt that Matthew would think I hadn't.     “Well, don't you see what I'm talking about?”     “Well—”     “Worst of all,” said Matthew, “he loses the illusion that his daughters loved him. Only when he's blind does he finally see the truth. Then he understands that Goneril and Regan think he's just a crazy old fool.”     I nodded my head in the way that adults did when they meant to indicate by the nodding, “Too true, too true.”     “There's no fool like an old fool,” I offered. I had heard my parents say this from time to time, and considered it an example of the kind of painfully acquired wisdom that adults laid claim to.     Matthew looked at me incredulously. “‘No fool like an old fool,'” he repeated. “Oh, God, this is going to be just horrible,” he said. “All right, Peter. You really need my help. I'll do it.”     “Great!” I said. “I knew you'd help me out, Matthew. We're going to have great fun with this, you'll see. Here.”     I gave him a copy of The Story of King Lear and His Daughters. Matthew sneered at the book, but he did help me. In his heart of hearts, he must have been convinced that the play was doomed to failure, but part of him had decided to challenge fate on my behalf, to try with everything he had in him to make it a success for my sake. He had an apparently endless supply of ideas for staging the play, and yet he had no real enthusiasm for what he was doing. He would suggest things to me, or explain things to me, or listen tirelessly to my questions, all the time wearing a look that said, “We haven't got a chance in the world of pulling this off.”     “The way I see the play is this,” Matthew announced one day. “Lear is in the clam-processing business. He owns a big plant. He's worth a lot of money.”     “Matthew—” I said.     “He knows he's going to die soon, so he wants his daughters to take over the family business.”     “Matthew,” I said, “we have to use these scripts.”     “Oh, yeah,” said Matthew, “we'll use those scripts, but we'll put the kids in costumes that make them look like people in the clam-processing business, and the scenery—”     His eyes lit up, and something almost like a smile formed on his lips.     “—the scenery will look like Babbington!”     “Matthew,” I asked, “couldn't we just do it the regular way? Couldn't we just do it the way people usually do it, the way the book says to do it?”     Matthew gave me a look of profound disappointment. “Peter,” he said, as if he were explaining something to a child, speaking as slowly and simply as he could, “you asked for my help, remember? This is our only chance to make something out of this. And it's my big chance. This is going to make me famous in the fourth grade.” He paused and went right for my weak spot. “It might even make me happy.”     “Matthew,” I said, “I think this is going to get me into a lot of trouble.”Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

Synopsis. In the garden outside Gloucester's Fillmore District mansion, a furious Edmund conspires to take from his brother what he feels he deserves from his father. Having set the trap, he drives to a nightclub where he sets up his brother Edgar for a fall from grace. Elsewhere, on an ocean beach outside of Goneril's mansion in outer-Richmond, San Francisco, Goneril instructs her servant, Oswald, to treat her father with disdain when he arrives, in the hope that it will push him to go to Regan's house instead. Inside Goneril's house, the exiled Kent has returned, disguised as a man-servant, Caius, in order to gain access to Lear. When the King arrives on the sundeck of the house, Kent (now Caius) greets him and wins his affection by shaming Oswald for disrespecting him. Soon after, the Fool arrives and berates Lear through thinly veiled humor for disowning Cordelia and giving his power over to his other two daughters. Finally, Goneril enters and greets her father coldly, telling him to get rid of his unruly knights and keep only the older ones who know their place. Lear defends his Knights and lashes out at Goneril, voicing his regret for shunning Cordelia.

Synopsis. As a large crowd of invited guests gather in the ballroom of King Lear's home in San Francisco's Fillmore District to hear his much-anticipated announcement regarding his plans for the future of his kingdom, the Earl of Gloucester gossips with Lear's trusted advisor, Kent, about the King's shaky health, which is evident in his plans to split the kingdom among his daughters and their husbands, including his unwed daughter, Cordelia, who will choose to marry either the Duke of Burgundy or the King of France this very evening. Gloucester introduces Kent to his illegitimate son, Edmund, who he describes as well-spoken, but not made of the same stuff as his legitimate son, Edgar. Their conversation is interrupted when the King enters with Cordelia and his two eldest daughters, Goneril and Regan, each accompanied by their husbands, Albany and Cornwall. In lavish fashion, Lear announces his plans to divide his kingdom equally among his three daughters, provided they try to out-do each other in a contest to say which of them loves him the most. Goneril and Regan oblige him with lofty pronouncements of devotion, for which they are rewarded with vast lands and resources. Cordelia, on the other hand, declines to participate in the contest, saying nothing but that she loves her father as a daughter should, no more nor less. In return, Lear disowns Cordelia and splits the kingdom between his two eldest daughters and their husbands. Kent tries to defend Cordelia and is exiled from the kingdom. The Duke of Burgundy abandons his suit of the now disinherited Cordelia. The King of France, however, sees Cordelia for who she is and asks for her hand in marriage, which Lear accepts, vowing never to see his daughter again. Cordelia says goodbye to her sisters and leaves with the King of France. Goneril and Regan linger afterward to marvel at their fortune, and talk privately about their need to ally themselves against their father if he tries to cling to power.

A banished queen receives word that her husband and three daughters are dead. Learwife, a new novel by J.R. Thorp, picks up where Shakespeare's King Lear leaves off: The queen is Berte, Lear's wife and Regan, Goneril, and Cordelia's mother, and she has been exiled in an abbey for the past fifteen years. Now, newly informed of her family members' deaths, she remembers her life with them and tries to plot her way forward. Thorp talks with Barbara Bogaev about her inspirations (including Eleanor of Aquitaine, The English Patient, and a stray line from an Agatha Christie novel), her new backstories for Lear's characters, and the roles of grief and nothingness in the book. J.R. Thorp is a librettist and writer working across a variety of forms, primarily with composers, choirs, orchestras, and musical organizations. Learwife is her first novel. It was published in the US by Pegasus Books in December 2021. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast. Published January 4, 2021. © Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved. This podcast episode, “All Her Mother's Pains and Benefits,” was produced by Richard Paul. Garland Scott is the associate producer. It was edited by Gail Kern Paster. Ben Lauer is the web producer.

We had technical help from Andrew Feliciano and Evan Marquart at Voice Trax West in Studio City, California, and Duncan O'Cleirigh at Blackwater Studios in Cork, Ireland.

“I had to create her out of nothing,” says JR Thorp of her debut novel Learwife, which explores the untold story of King Lear's wife, written out of literary history. The idea first occurred to Thorp at the age of eleven when she read Agatha Christie's The Moving Finger. “There's a girl in that with a complicated relationship with her parents who says as an offhand line, ‘I wonder why Goneril and Regan were like that? What it was like for them growing up?' It's just a thought that's mentioned and then discarded but it stayed with me.” It started her thinking about family dynamics, and she read and re-read Shakespeare's tragedy to see what had created those highly-competitive characters. She found only two fleeting references to Lear's unnamed wife in the entire play. “Something about her absence was creating this toxicity,” said Thorp.  More: https://canongate.co.uk/books/3650-learwife/

The pianist Lars Vogt talks candidly to the presenter Kate Molleson about music making after his cancer diagnosis in February and his ongoing treatment to fight the disease. He tells Kate about his latest projects, including a recording of music by Janacek. We eavesdrop on rehearsals for a new production of Shakespeare's King Lear at The Grange Festival, set to music by the composer Nigel Osborne and directed by Keith Warner, which features singers in speaking roles – among them John Tomlinson as Lear and Susan Bullock as his daughter Goneril from whom we hear about the challenges and joys of this new project. We've a tribute, too, to pioneer Dutch composer Louis Andriessen who passed away last week – with contributions from composers Richard Ayres and Missy Mazzoli, as well as soprano Nora Fischer for whom he wrote one of his last works.

Ele cercou-se de bajuladores e expulsou quem lhe amava e lhe era leal, jogando o reino na guerra e no caos. Conheça essa grande tragédia de Shakespeare. Nesse episódio, Stefani Onesko convida Brás Oscar e Silvio Grimaldo para discutirem sobre uma das mais famosas e mais trágicas das obras de Shakespeare. A obra discutida neste podcast levará os ouvintes a refletir sobre a vida do homem, suas misérias, virtudes e sobre as consequências das ações humanas que podem resultar em glória ou ruína. Rei Lear, obra de Shakeaspeare, apresenta a história do rei da Bretanha que decide dividir o reino entre suas três filhas. As filhas mais velhas, Goneril e Regana, possuem ambições em torno do poder e dos recursos do pai e expõem todos seus falsos sentimentos para conseguir seus objetivos. Diferentemente da cobiça das irmãs, a filha mais nova, Cordélia, despojada de qualquer pretensão, prefere o silêncio, já que palavras não expressariam suficientemente o amor e a estima dela pelo pai e, por não corresponder à vaidade e ao orgulho do rei, acaba sendo desprezada. Rei Lear ao rejeitar a verdade representada por Cordélia, acabou escolhendo a ingratidão e, consequentemente, a própria ruína. Não deixe comprar esse e outras obras do Bardo na Livraria do BSM.

Goneril and Regan falsely swore they loved their father, King Lear, more than life itself. Cordelia could find no words to express her sincere devotion. Then King Lear made the decision that started a series of exciting events. (Volume 46, Harvard Classics) Shakespeare's first daughter, Susanna, baptized May 26, 1583.

It all gets worse from there when King Lear declares his daughters should beg for his benevolence by having an adoration competition to see who inherits his kingdom while he goes off into a Jimmy Buffett style retirement of drinking and carousing. The two oldest, Goneril and Regan, get into shenanigans while Cordelia just gets married off to the King of France. Literally everyone dies. Spoiler alert.

This episode is a Sistory Untold first! We are talking about three fictional women: Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia in William Shakespeare's beloved tragedy, King Lear.

In this episode, we discuss Richard Eyre's film adaptation of King Lear starring Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, Emily Watson, and Florence Pugh. Director Richard Eyre (The Hollow Crown Henry IV Part 1 & 2, The Children Act) adapted King Lear for the small screen in 2018, airing on the BBC in the UK and Amazon Prime in the US. (It's on iTunes in Canada). Set in the present day, Emma Thompson stars as Goneril, alongside Emily Watson as Regan, Florence Pugh as Cordelia, Andrew Scott as Edgar, Jim Broadbent as Gloucester, Tobias Menzies as Cornwall, Christopher Eccleston as Oswald, and Karl Johnson as The Fool. This production of Lear is really an ensemble piece, which takes the time to flesh out each of the daughters and their relationships to their husbands. The acting, across the board, is top notch.

Whether it’s Lear calling Goneril a plague-sore, or Mercutio cursing the families in Romeo and Juliet by saying “A plague on both your houses!” Shakespeare’s works testify to the fact that rampant plague was a very real, and very prevalent, part of Shakespeare's daily life. But what were the concerns about plague that Shakespeare was considering when he wrote these works that refer to the disease? For Shakespeare and his contemporaries, there was a real plague culture in England that impacted the entertainment industry including theater, literature, and even music. Here today to help us unpack what we can learn about plague for Shakespeare’s lifetime is an expert on this subject, Rebecca Totaro professor of literature and culture of early modern England at Florida Gulf Coast University and author of several books on plague including The Plague in Print.  joins us today to discuss her book, Plague in Print, a work that examines plague literature, and what surviving documents written about the experiences of living with plague can teach about the life of William Shakespeare.

In this episode, I want to discuss how this production changed the focus of the play, away from the madness of the king to the actions of the three daughters.  Perhaps it was my perception of the play or perhaps it was the director’s intention but the focus in the first half of the play was clearly on the daughters and their families. Both Goneril and Regan played much more prominent roles throughout the first scene and their joint liaisons with Edmund, later the Earl of Gloucester, were key components of this production. Moreover, their husbands, the Duke of Cornwall and the Duke of Albany, also played prominent roles. The Duke of Cornwall, for instance his role in this production was more than the traditional highlight for him, which is the blinding of the original Earl of Gloucester. (Even in this production it still elicited gasps from the audience.) Even after the intermission, where some of the most powerful scenes in all of Shakespeare playout, including the blinded Earl of Gloucester and the mad Lear wandering the moor, this production held a distinct focus on Lear’s daughters and their families, adding in the complexity of Edmund, the new Earl of Gloucester, having an affair with Goneril while secretly pledged to wed Regan.  In the most recent Harvard Business Review (HBR), Scott Berinato writes, in an article entitled “Data Science and the Art of Persuasion”, that most companies are not getting the value from data science initiatives and prescribes ways to remedy this phenomenon. Last year, at Compliance Week 2018, Hui Chen said on a panel that she expected the compliance team of the not-so-distant future would have a data scientist. As with most of her pronouncements, she was way ahead of the crowd.  You must start with the premise that most CCOs and compliance professionals are legally trained, usually without any data analytics classes in law schools still operating under the Socratic Method. Even if a stat class is thrown in somewhere along the way in undergrad, grad school or even through some business school outreach to law students, that does not begin to prepare someone to understand the insights available through advanced data analytics. The key is to build a better data science operation. There are four suggestions, with the over-arching theme of defining the talents you need to understand and communicate the data. 1.     The unpacking of data and creation of insights is a skill. 2.     Data wrangling.3.     Expertise.4.     How to communicate the information.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I want to discuss the opening scene where Lear bids his daughters express the breadth and scope of their love for him.  Lear has called a conference to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia, his youngest who is clearly is favorite. Goneril professes her love is more than words alone can convey, saying “A love that makes . . . speech unable / Beyond all manner of so much I love you”. Regan professes, “Myself an enemy to all other joys, Which the most precious square of sense possesses, And find I am alone felicitate in your dear Highness’ love.” However, Cordelia refuses to play the flattering fool. Her father twice gives her the opportunity to redress this decision but she holds firm saying “Nothing, my lord”. This leads to the break in the family, the deaths of the sisters and the fullest scope of tragedy.  Why do you need to engage your audience? I thought about this in the context of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, compliance and regime change. This is not Saddam Hussain regime change where the US government invades a country to throw out the old boss. This is a democratically elected-peaceful transfer of power. However, it now appears that regime change now means corruption investigations which impact not only the FCPA but also US companies. Every compliance officer needs to aware of this new reality. Take three recent regime changes, together with what they have meant; and perhaps one to come.  1.     South Africa2.     Malaysia3.     Brazil4.     Venezuela The bottom line is that every Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) must now watch local politics much more closely. If you are doing business in a high-risk country and there are new leaders brought in through democratically elected regime change, your company had better be ready for a robust corruption investigation. Certainly if Malaysia, South Africa and Brazil are any indication, prosecutors from nations with new regimes may well share their findings with the US Department of Justice (DOJ). This means that regime change could lead directly to a FCPA investigation, where the disclosure was by a foreign government and not the company self-disclosing. If there is no self-disclosure, a company is not eligible for the declination under the 2017 FCPA Corporate Enforcement Policy.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
