watch, read, or listen to all of Shakespeare's plays

So far I’ve read:
Romeo and Juliet (and have seen it three times)
A Midsummer Night’s Dream (and have seen it twice)
The Taming of the Shrew
The Merchant of Venice
Hamlet (and have seen it once)
Othello
Macbeth
The Tempest

and I’ve seen Much Ado About Nothing but I want to read it as well.
I think this will be a project I’ll work on over Winter Break when I have time so hopefully I’ll have this completed by then. I own this beautiful leather bound volume of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, I just haven’t had the time to sit down and read it at leisure.

I am starting my first thing

pat

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner, but on Monday I was browsing the Shakespeare section at the library and saw they had a great selection on the plays on audio cd. I listened to Julius Casear this morning at work and am listening to The Tempest right now. It’s the next best thing to seeing the plays performed live.

hi my name is chelsi-louise and i love shakespeare

way too hard, maybe ill try later

I’m going to get any more done these holidays :’( as I am far too busy to read (which is really strange, but I have turned to other entertainment mediums and would no longer call myself a book-aholic, though I am still a bookworm).
But I am doing ANOTHER Shakespeare course at my university for my Honours degree so I will probably get a few more ticked off by the end fo the year. Unfortunately for me this needs time to dedicate to it and time is one thing I do not have (unless I’m at work and bored out of my brain).

from “read more Shakespeare” to “watch, read, or listen to all of Shakespeare’s plays.” As one of my friends recently pointed out, Shakespeare is meant to be seen, not read. And while I might read some of his plays, I think watching is fine, too.

Also, I reserve the right not to do all of his plays, although I would not be upset if I end up doing just that.

to read everything he ever wrote, but it wouldn’t hurt to crack open the Complete Works of William Shakespeare that’s been sitting on my bookcase ever since I bought it in Stratford-upon-Avon almost 10 years ago. I reserve the right to complete this goal at any time :-)

I can keep track of my progress on the All-Consuming List. I swear I’ve read more than three of his plays, but I can’t remember exactly which ones. I guess that means it’s time to read them again.

15) Troilus and Cressida (Uni3 – interesting, but certainly no Romeo and Juliet. I wish it was a comedy, actually. I don’t really see the point of it being a tragedy. It’s not that tragic…)
