Shakespeare

Various people seem to be posting about the Shakespeare plays they've seen, so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon. Thanks to cm and Bardcamp, if you count readthroughs, I've seen all of them at least once, although there are a few where my memory is lost in a haze of alcohol or tiredness or just plain terribleness. *cough* King John *cough*

All's Well That Ends Well - I think I've done two readthroughs of this, both as part of Bardcamps. As with most of the problem plays, I like it a lot even though (or perhaps because) it's deeply uncomfortable. I don't think I've seen it staged or filmed, but would like to.

I'm actually quite surprised, having done this exercise, how few productions I've seen of a lot of these plays, especially that there are several I like a lot that I've never seen staged or filmed. I'm sure there are productions that I've forgotten, but even so, I might have to make some effort see more. My self image is definitely as somewhat of a Shakespeare geek (although obviously not nearly as much as cm or kerrypolka), but I'm now feeling as though reality doesn't quite bear that out.
