Also read and listened to that weren't on meme-list:

The Two Noble Kinsmen
The Rape of Lucrete

Much of the reading was done in my Shakespeare masterclass - I wasn't too fond of most of it, because university kills the things you study. My favourite play, from the ones I've seen, was Coriolanus. My favourite ballet was Othello and film also Othello (Lawrence Fishbourne version). I also saw a marionet-version of Othello on the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh :) To read I prefer Hamlet, which I always carry around in my pocket.

I would like to see more historically set plays - all the plays I've seen were very modern from style + dress. In the version of Anthony & Cleopatra that I have seen, Cleopatra wore a sort of...sleepingbag as dress o.O
