A lucky find on eBay last week. A brand new set of 22 Shakespeare plays (plus Doctor Faustus by Marlowe) on DVD as performed at the Globe in London for only A$139! That’s six dollars per play!
I fully intended to watch a stage or movie adaptation as I read each play in 2020/21 – now I own some brilliant versions for next to nix.
By the way, i am still reading – run aground a little in The Water Margin – 800 pages of Chinese novel. Be back soon!
Wow! Great find! I find Shakespeare hard to read – I much prefer leaving it to a great director and some brilliant actors to interpret it all for me…

I’m the opposite. I can’t follow the lines when the actors are passionately tearing through it. I need to know the story and the more important lines and meanings of words if I want to get more than the basic plot out of it. I’ll read each play carefully then sit back and soak in the drama. ( if I ever get through to Shakespeare)
