Think I was forced to go to a couple as a kid, never been and wouldn't go to or read any voluntarily.  Cool

5, but four of them were in school (Only did Englsih up to GSCE) - Macbeth, Midsummer Nights Dream, Twelfth Night and The Tempest

Saw the Benedict Cumberbatch version of Hamlet last year, really enjoyed it

Never seen or read Romeo and Juliet

We never did any Shakespeare at school. 

My daughter has just been invited by her school to part of the Shakespeare live recording at the BBC in Birmingham on Monday.  Hopefully some will stick with her.

15, of which the two I've seen but not read are Coriolanus and Love's Labour's Lost.

Anyone who has seen The Lion King has seen Hamlet. Anyone who has seen Kiss Me Kate has seen The Taming of the Shrew. Anyone who has seen West Side Story has seen Romeo and Juliet. Lots of these things about. 

Marlowe was a more intellectual playwright and Johnson was a better wit/satirist. Shakespeare was the all-rounder.

Can we do Enid Blyton or Peppa Pig?

Was hoping Tal was a secret 1.  Where is posh Alex?

Anyone who has watched blackadder will have seen a few, probably most famously twelfth night. I would say that i feel Shakespeare is done a huge disservice by the education system, and would encourage anyone to go to the globe and see one. Although fork out the extra for seats, it can be a long time standing up :p

You know that backing a horse named after the play doesn't count?  Wink

Just the two they made us do at school, Julius Caesar and King Lear. Wouldn't willingly subject myself to that stuff. As irrelevant as the five years Latin they also made me do.
