[Shakespeare] 31/37
Jul. 12th, 2013 01:13 pmAt Shakespeare on the Common earlier this week year, Cate and I were talking about getting to see multiple versions of the same play in fairly quick succession (this was our 3rd Two Gentlemen of Verona this season) -- "playstorming," she called it.
I remembered doing that "Shakespeare plays you have read or seen" meme a while back and was curious to pull it up and update it.
Apparently I'd only seen a few ASP shows at the time, so my list has significantly increased, even without this year's ALL The Shakespeare.
Because some of this stuff I don't even remember (apparently I saw Two Gentlemen of Verona for the first time when I was at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2007? oh, wait, my records say "Two Noble Kinsmen," I must have goofed when I did the meme last time), I decided to to back through my Shakepeare tag and link to my writeups of all the plays (though I have been behind on writeups for, oh, years).
In August 2012, I said, "3rd performance of Coriolanus I've seen and I still get excited watching it (which I wasn't sure would be the case). And now I want to read lots of commentary on the play because I have lots of thinky thoughts."
I have known for some time that Twelfth Night and Macbeth, which used to be my favorite Shakespeare plays, I've become less enamoured of on repeated viewings -- but I hadn't really thought much about what I would currently posit for my favorite Shakespeare play(s). I think it is arguably true that Coriolanus is my current favorite.
In going back through these entries, I think Titus Andronicus (baby's first ASP show!) is possibly my second-favorite.
