King Leir

Performed at the Globe Theater in 1605, King Leir is presumed to be a prime source for Shakespeare. Although the story is the same, in this anonymous version the ending is happy. This is the first time this fascinating work is published in a single-play edition.

  • "Obviously a prime source for Shakespeare, who may have seen it performed in 1605, 'Leir' tells the same story as 'Lear', but has a happy ending, with Cordella marrying the King of France, reconciling with her father and reclaiming the crown of England."
