Subject:        New and Improved Lear

A mind is a terrible thing to lose. I cannot remember the particulars of
a particularly odious rewrite of Lear, in which he and Cordelia survived
presumably to live happily ever after. I believe this occurred during
the 18th century, and may have been approved of by Dr. Samuel Johnson.
Assuming I am somewhat correct, can someone enlighten me as to the exact
time, place, producer, and reception of the rewrite by audience and
critic. Thanks in advance. Harvey Roy Greenberg, MD
