Hey, this is actually getting easier!
Richard III
Merchant of Venice
Hamlet
Much Ado About Nothing
(But ask me when I’m in a different mood and I might choose R&J over RIII.)
Richard III / The Winter’s Tale / Hamlet / Macbeth. (But I’m still grieving over the loss of Lear, the greatest play ever written—in the weirdest result since Trump-Clinton.)
R&J (I’m teaching it is, so it feels a bit traitorous if I don’t pick it. Lol)
Winter’s Tale
Damn I’m this is now hard! Hamlet, I suppose
And Macbeth
I LOVE R&J… loved teaching it…
RIII; Hamlet; Merchant of Venice; Macbeth.
