The weight of this sad time we must obey,
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.

In Shakespeare, Cordelia dies before her father King Lear. However, in the original British legend, she outlives him and becomes Britain's ruler. Cordelia is a warrior queen, leading armies. Sadly, she is overthrown by her two nephews, who resent being ruled by a woman.

Went to see "King Lear" as performed by the actors at The Commonweal Theatre in Lanesboro, Minnesota.

Wonderful production. Modern clothing with some actors playing multiple roles.

They have this Friday and Saturday and a Sunday matinee closing show left. If you're in the area and can afford the money and time it's well worth it.
