Question: Which tragic Shakespeare play has Goneril and Edmund appeared in?
Context: The Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Op. 31, No. 2, was composed in 1801/02 by Ludwig van Beethoven.  It is usually referred to as "The Tempest" (or "Der Sturm" in his native German), but the sonata was not given this title by Beethoven, or indeed referred to as such during his lifetime.  The name comes from a claim by his associate Anton Schindler that the sonata was inspired by the Shakespeare play.  However, much of Schindler's information is distrusted by classical music scholars.  The British music scholar Donald Francis Tovey says in "A Companion to Beethoven's Pianoforte Sonatas": With all the tragic power of its first movement the D minor Sonata is, like Prospero, almost as far beyond tragedy as it is beyond mere foul weather.  It will do you no harm to think of Miranda at bars 31–38 of the slow movement... but people who want to identify Ariel and Caliban and the castaways, good and villainous, may as well confine their attention to the exploits of Scarlet Pimpernel when the "Eroica" or the C minor Symphony is being played (pg.  121). Professor Thomas J. King Jr. (July 25, 1925 – 1994) was an educator, and an early user of word processing and sequence analysis to compare available early versions of William Shakespeare's plays for identification of variant texts and their analysis.  Dr. King's historical work also researched original prompt copies of Elizabethan Era and Jacobean Era plays contemporary to Shakespeare, along with their marginalia, in order to identify stage directions and infer physical staging of Shakespeare's plays at the Globe and other London venues, as well as at provincial halls and inns where Elizabethan troupes performed on tour.  In his extensive studies, Prof. King created databases of every Shakespeare play and other extant Elizabethan contemporary playhouse documents, by scene and character, to determine number of lines, and therefore the roles that could be doubled with sufficient time between for costume change, thus enabling him to determine the size of a working Elizabethan theater company. Edmund or Edmond is a fictional character and the main antagonist in William Shakespeare's "King Lear".  He is the illegitimate son of the Earl of Gloucester, and the younger brother of Edgar, the Earl's legitimate son.  Early on in the play, Edmund resolves to get rid of his brother, then his father, and become Earl in his own right.  He later flirts with both Goneril and Regan and attempts to play them off against each other. Khoon Ka Khoon (Blood for Blood) also called Hamlet is the first Hindi/Urdu 1935 sound film adaptation of a Shakespeare play.  Directed by Sohrab Modi under his Stage Film Company banner, it is cited as one of the earliest talkie versions of this play.  Credited as "the man who brought Shakespeare to the Indian screen", it was Modi's debut feature film as a director.  The story and script were by Mehdi Hassan Ahsan from his Urdu adaptation of Shakespeare's "Hamlet".  Starring Sohrab Modi, "Khoon Ka Khoon" was also the debut in films of Naseem Banu who played Ophelia.  The other star cast included Shamshadbai, Ghulam Hussain, Obali Mai, Fazal Karim and Eruch Tarapore. "The Taming of the Shrew" in performance has had an uneven history.  Popular in Shakespeare's day, the play fell out of favour during the seventeenth century, when it was replaced on the stage by John Lacy's "Sauny the Scott".  The original Shakespearean text was not performed at all during the eighteenth century, with David Garrick's adaptation "Catharine and Petruchio" dominating the stage.  After over two hundred years without a performance, the play returned to the British stage in 1844, the last Shakespeare play restored to the repertory.  However, it was only in the 1890s that the dominance of "Catharine and Petruchio" began to wain, and productions of "The Shrew" become more regular.  Moving into the twentieth century, the play's popularity increased considerably, and it became one of Shakespeare's most frequently staged plays, with productions taking place all over the world.  This trend has continued into the twenty-first century, with the play as popular now as it was when first written. The Boys from Syracuse is a musical with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart, based on William Shakespeare's play, "The Comedy of Errors", as adapted by librettist George Abbott.  The score includes swing and other contemporary rhythms of the 1930s.  The show was the first musical based on a Shakespeare play.  "The Comedy of Errors" was itself loosely based on a Roman play, "The Menaechmi, or the Twin Brothers", by Plautus. Love's Labour's Lost is a 2000 adaptation of the comic play of the same name by William Shakespeare, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh.  It was the first feature film to be made of this lesser-known comedy.  Branagh's fourth film of a Shakespeare play (he did not direct the 1995 "Othello", although he did play Iago), "Love's Labour's Lost" was a box-office and critical disappointment. Into the Gauntlet is the tenth book in "The 39 Clues" novel series.  It was written by Margaret Peterson Haddix and released on August 31, 2010.  In the beginning of the book, Amy and Dan are now at the end of their clue hunt, and every misfortune they've had.  Their lead is a poem found in their hotel room.  However, it is then stolen by Isabel Kabra.  It is revealed that William Shakespeare was a powerful Madrigal and the most important clue is on the line against their competitors.  Dan and Amy are supposed to go to the Globe theater to watch a Shakespeare play, "Romeo and Julliet".  While watching the show they see what looks to be ninjas.  The ninjas find a clue at the top of the theater but drop it into the hands of Dan and Amy.  As it turns out the whole Cahill family is at the play looking for the clue.  Backstage of the play the fight over the paper found at the theater.  Mr. McIntyre and Fiske Cahill reveal there is another family out there that makes Isabel Kabra look like Mother Teresa.  The globe on the 39 Clues symbol is, unlike in the first nine books, shattered into pieces. Goneril is a character in Shakespeare's tragic play "King Lear" (1605).  She is the eldest of King Lear's three daughters.  Along with her sister Regan, Goneril is considered a villain, obsessed with power and overthrowing her elderly father as ruler of the kingdom of Britain.  Her aggressiveness is a rare trait for a female character in Elizabethan literature. The Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival is an annual Shakespearean theatre festival in Philadelphia.  Every year, The Festival produces two or three productions of Shakespeare's plays.  Starting out as the Red Heel Theatre in 1989, and changing name and purpose in 1993, The Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival is now the region’s only theatre devoted entirely to Shakespeare’s works.  In 2008/9, they engaged in intensive planning with the board of directors and cultural and community leaders and decided to re-brand and rename the company to better reflect their programming.  The Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre now has several programs for adults and students including a lecture series featuring world-renowned Shakespeare scholars, Shakespeare School Tour which also tours in schools, and a Classical Acting Academy providing early career actors with intense classical training culminating in a free summer Shakespeare play for the public.
