Overview
Discusses the review of a recent performance of Shakespeare's \"King Lear\" by the Sydney Corps in which the character Cordelia, who is supposed to be dead, laughed in the face of Lear. Looks at this scene in terms of Australia's reception, interpretation, and criticism of Shakespeare in general. Looks at the ways in which Australian critics have questioned the value of canonical literature, as well as the \"universality\" of Shakespeare's plays. Includes notes.
