Cordelia

Cordelia was a character in King Lear. Ethel Halliday rehearsed to play her in Charles Virgil McLean's production in 1906. (AUDIO: The Gift) While attending Coal Hill School, Susan Foreman read out loud in class the part of Cordelia in King Lear. She told the teacher, Miss Ireland, that the play was nothing like what had really happened. (AUDIO: All Hands on Deck)
