Shakespeare

[partiallysane]

As an item on my 101 List, I wanted to see a live production of each of Shakespeare's plays. So, I wanted to keep a record of the plays that I've seen, so I can tick them off. I'm having a little difficulty with some of the years of productions I've seen, and in a couple of cases, remembering whether I've seen the productions, or just heard & read a lot about them. However, I am only putting down ones I'm sure I've seen, and only where I have seen full productions, as opposed to readings or extracts. Films don't count. The Reduced Shakespeare Company doesn't count. I'm including shows I've acted in, because I figure you end up seeing the great majority of a show you work on.

It's not a bad list, but further to go than I'd realised!
