Wow, I'm jealous! I've seen Twelfth Night on stage, but I've never seen Hamlet (my favorite; yes, I'm a cliche) and Henry IV, which probably plays a lot more awesomely than it reads. Plus Tennessee Williams? Fabulous. :)
I love Hamlet. I'd seen Twelfth Night before, but it was a crazy production that didn't make any sense so it didn't really count. Henry IV was not bad for a history.
I tried having a Shakespeare reading at my house for Twelfth Night once but not enough players showed up, lol. I'm curious as to how you single handedly ruined the Merchant of Venice, lol.
It seems most got rave reviews. Was Merchants the one with the bad seating etiquette?
I want to go see Tempest with Christopher Plummer at our Shakespeare festival. I may pair it was something else - maybe with Peter Pan or Kiss Me Kate.
Oh, you should go. I bet Christopher Plummer is great in the Tempest. We did Kiss Me Kate in high school, so I'm a fan, but I know Peter Pan is great too.
I recently saw a very meh production of Hamlet, so envy you your good one. Although I did like the RSC production that recently aired on PBS - though of course, that's not like seeing it live.
Twelfth Night is the Shakespeare play I've seen most often. It seems to be produced a lot
Where do you stay when you go to Ashland? I'd like to go to the fest, but it seems such an expensive undertaking.
A meh Hamlet is sad! As proven by most of the movie versions. I haven't seen the RSC one yet, though, it's in my Netflix queue.
Twelfth Night does seem to be one of the more popular ones.
It does get pricey. I stay at the Ashland Springs Hotel, which is definitely not cheap, but I really like it. I used to stay at the Best Western, which was disgusting. I think B&Bs are probably the way to go for a lower cost. There's also a couple of well reviewed less expensive hotels -- I think the Peerless is one -- but they don't have air conditioning, and usually it is very hot in Ashland in the summer.

I ruined Merchant for myself by being crabby. Not for anyone else! That sounds amusing.

Please. Oh, wait. I suspect you know that I am neither "anyone" nor "everyone."

I knew you were going to say that. And I knew you would be interested. :) I still might post them, I'm just lazy.
