heatherl602 down, 35 to go

i finished Macbeth last night. I did it for GCSE English years ago and know it quite well, plus it’s really quite short, so it wasn’t that hard to follow.

not sure what to tackle next. I think it might have to be one from the histories list, which feels like a much harder kettle of fish! suggestions? 8 months ago


heatherl60number 1 done and dusted

I’ve finished Twelfth Night and quite enjoyed it. I’ve bought secondhand copies of Macbeth and Much Ado About Nothing that have study notes included – Macbeth next I think. 8 months ago


heatherl60Update

I’m partway through Twelfth Night, the first play on my list. I downloaded the complete works of Shakespeare for my Kindle and am finding that “little but often” is the way to do it. 8 months ago


heatherl60The Start

Here’s a list of all of Shakespeare’s plays, split into genre. There are 37 in total. I read a few (probably the “easiest” ones) at school, and have seen dramatisations of others. Some of them I’ve never heard of!

I’m going to attempt to read all of them over the next year, starting with the ones I already know and switching between the genres. I think the historical plays will be the hardest, but time will tell.
