The History of King Lear
The History of King Lear is an adaptation by Nahum Tate of William Shakespeare's "King Lear". It first appeared in 1681, some seventy-five years after Shakespeare's version, and is believed to have replaced Shakespeare's version on the English stage in whole or in part until 1838.
Anna and the King (TV series)
"Anna and the King" is a non-musical adaptation of the 1956 film of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The King and I", which was in turn based on the novel "Anna and the King of Siam" by Margaret Landon. Unlike the majority of attempts to turn hit films into television series, "Anna and the King" featured the original film's star, Yul Brynner, who was probably more identified with that role than any other.
