s rewind to the 17th c. with a "happy ending in which Lear and Cordelia survive, and to develop a love story between Cordelia and Edgar... which ends with their marriage"
![https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Lear
All theatres were closed down by the Puritan government on 6 September 1642. Upon the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, two patent companies (the King's Company and the Duke's Company) were established, and the existing theatrical repertoire divided between them.[63] And from the restoration until the mid-19th century the performance history of King Lear is not the story of Shakespeare's version, but instead of The History of King Lear, a popular adaptation by Nahum Tate. Its most significant deviations from Shakespeare were to omit the Fool entirely, to introduce a happy ending in which Lear and Cordelia survive, and to develop a love story between Cordelia and Edgar (two characters who never interact in Shakespeare) which ends with their marriage.[64] Like most Restoration adapters of Shakespeare, Tate admired Shakespeare's natural genius but saw fit to augment his work with contemporary standards of art (which were largely guided by the neoclassical unities of time, place, and action).[65] Tate's struggle to strike a balance between raw nature and refined art is apparent in his description of the tragedy: "a heap of jewels, unstrung and unpolish't; yet so dazzling in their disorder, that I soon perceiv'd I had seiz'd a treasure."[66][67] Other changes included giving Cordelia a confidante named Arante, bringing the play closer to contemporary notions of poetic justice, and adding titilating material such as amorous encounters between Edmund and both Regan and Goneril, a scene in which Edgar rescues Cordelia from Edmund's attempted kidnapping and rape,[68][69] and a scene in which Cordelia wears men's pants that would reveal the actress's ankles.[70] The play ends with a celebration of "the King's blest Restauration", an obvious reference to Charles II.[c]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7pib5vdeenzceikjjjufapja/bafkreigxzdiplenc7kh6saf3lm2dvf5tgmjb7tw5ookcdasdup43liweo4)

"King Lear" was performed for the very first time on this day in 1606 at the court of James I of England; this is Laurence Olivier as Lear in the BBC's deeply moving 1983 TV adaptation:
