Director's Notes King Lear Film Episode 13 Act 4, Scene 7

Watch the reconciliation scene on YouTube.



Alexander Barnett Alexandra Cohler

             Since arriving at the French camp Kent has told Cordelia of all the events that led to Lear’s madness.  She is amazed and horrified by his story.  Finally, as he finishes, Cordelia, overwhelmed with gratitude and awe for Kent’s heroism, devotion and loyalty, tries to find the words to convey her appreciation.

Allen Cohler Peter Holdway

            The reconciliation scene is intensely personal.  Cordelia approaches the tent fraught with apprehension, reluctance and uncertainty. How will he respond to her?  Forgiving?  Vengeful? She has not seen him since he banished her.

Death Penalty Horror

Both the photos and the story are unspeakably horrifying.  This child's face will never leave my mind.Image may contain: 3 people, people smiling



At age 14, George Stinney Jr. is the youngest person that has ever been sentenced to death in the United States. He was accused of killing two white girls back in 1944. Their bodies were found near the house where the teenager resided with his parents. 70 years later, his innocence was finally proven by a judge in South Carolina.
