I did see King John at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Enjoyed the play but i certainly see why it is not done much. Honestly – not great Shakespeare – the King gets sick and dies – curtain. yawn.
Just last week saw Cymbeline at New Jersey Shakespeare Festival – and i really loved it. Beautiful language, bits of familiar plots from a few different plays but it all worked out. Hadn’t been to NJSF in years – heck probably a couple decades but they still do a good job.



don't know if I'll see all of them 3 years ago

because ideally I’d like to see all of them live but who will ever do a production of Timon of Athens in my lifetime?
There are some I’ve not seen even on tv or a movie. I have read everything’s he’s done though.

I’m making a list to track – seen some of these more then once so I’m writing the most notable productions I’ve seen – or at least the ones I remember best.
