King Lear. Shakespeare's tragedy was first mounted in New York in 1754 and soon became a popular vehicle for all the great American tragedians. Junius Brutus
Booth, himself a little mad, was a noteworthy interpreter as was Edwin
Forrest. It was also a favorite role of Edwin
Booth, though critics divided on the merits of his performance, which, especially in early years, seemed to have been copied from his father's. Modern revivals, including those featuring Louis
Calhern, Orson
Welles, Paul Scofield, James Earl
Jones, Hal
Holbrook, and F. Murray
Abraham, have found surprisingly little favor at the box office.
