My current and pressing list of things to watch is full of things I cannot physically watch (three hours long or a serie or both) but I need to. I can't think of anything else

45 Shakespeare Questions: 1, 2, 4, 12. 41

1. which plays have you read?

As of a few weeks ago, all of them! (Eyeing the sonnets and long poems next....)

2. which shows have you seen/watched performed or filmed?

OH MAN this is a complicated question. If we count our weekly zoom productions, then all of them! 

Though I admit that’s a bit different from seeing a full production so, not counting that.... (most of these are the filmed/streaming versions. I can’t wait for live theatre to come back!):

-All’s Well (a Very Mediocre production on youtube. If you have recommendations, please let me know because I want to see a good one!) -As You Like It (student production) -Love’s Labour’s Lost (RSC) -Merchant of Venice (RSC) -Merry Wives of Windsor (Globe) -Midsummer (a few student productions over the years) -Much Ado About Nothing (student productions and also the Tennant & Tate version) -Pericles (well.. I was *IN* Pericles in high school. I don’t know if that counts technically. But i’m counting it!) -The Tempest (another one I was in! But I’ve seen lots of filmed versions too, notably the @synetic-theater‘s wordless production which was SUPER cool!) -Twelfth Night (student productions) -Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 (RSC) -Henry V (RSC & Branagh) -King John (Stratford Festival) -Richard II (Tennant’s RSC production) -Richard III (BBC version with Ron Cook which I do not recommend--it is SO LONG) -Antony and Cleopatra (RSC--I LOVED THIS production so much) -Coriolanus (National Theatre Hiddleston production) -Cymbeline (RSC: weird production, but their Pisanio is goals) -Julius Caesar (Donmar Warehouse. I’m in LOVE with their Caesar.) -King Lear (So many. My favorite so far is Ian Mckellen’s National Theatre production) -Macbeth (another one I was in! But also lots of productions over the years--most recently the RSC production with Eccleston which I hated lol) -Othello (RSC) -Romeo and Juliet (Globe) -Titus Andronicus (Globe)

I’m having a crisis over this question because it’s making me realize that.....I don’t think I’ve ever seen a full production of Hamlet?!?! HOW CAN THIS BE TRUE? But I really cannot think of a single actual production I’ve seen.... I might have watched the Branagh version in college, but I don’t feel confident enough about that to list it.

4. favorite comedy?

If we’re counting the romances, then The Tempest! If not, Twelfth Night.

12. character you can’t bring yourself to care about

The People Of Tumblr are going to kill me for this but.................Horatio. LIKE. HE’S FINE. I DON’T DISLIKE HIM. I just feel overwhelmingly neutral.

41. what kind of editions/versions do you like to read?

I have a Norton Complete Works, which I like! It has some great notes and introductions. (It’s also over 12 years old and has survived some heavy use and many, many moves!)  That being said, it’s HEAVY and not particularly comfortable to carry around. @whereforebase and some friends gifted me several of the Pelican editions, which are lovely and and portable and super aesthetic. I also have my eye on the Arden and the RSC complete works..... though maybe for the sake of my back, I should focus on collecting individual editions.

Hi have you maybe also read about any julius caesar plays by shakespeare that can currently be watched or in the upcoming time? Excuse my english im not a native speaker. Thanks (:

Yes! 

I belatedly learned that the Donmar Warehouse is streaming Phyllida Lloyd’s trilogy of Julius Caesar, Henry IV, and The Tempest, which is absolutely thrilling. 

(Thank you @apostropheis) 

And National Theatre Live recorded an interesting production directed by Nicholas Hytner, which they don’t currently have scheduled to stream, but let’s keep our fingers crossed. 

Cheers!

Things I did today:

 - Attempted to watch the most recent episode of Critical Role, got bored and started yelling “Get off the boat!” at the screen, and stopped.  I will watch it eventually, possibly after the next episode assures me that something will actually happen other than planning and travel logistics.

 - Listened to the first five episodes of season three of The Magnus Archives and then stopped because I’m trying to pace myself and not run out too quickly.  Highlights:  

MISTER SPIDER DOESN'T LIKE IT, aka the next inexplicable creepy thing I'm going to start texting to my sister at random intervals

Look, Elias is clearly The Worst and also I love him now.  This is just who I am as a person

"I could be on drugs!" Oh Jon. No, you could not, and Georgie clearly knows it

Georgie is also the best, btw

The voice of the nameless narrator in MAG 85 is so good, oh my gosh

 - Watched The Tempest from the Donmar Warehouse all-female Shakespeare trilogy starring Harriet Walter which was just...you guys.  It was amazingly good.  I requested that my library purchase this trilogy and this is the first one they sent me, so I’ve watched the last one first (which is not ideal) but now I a) want to see the other two immediately and b) maybe need to buy them so that I can watch them whenever I want.  If you are at all interested in watching Shakespeare, this Tempest is well worth seeing.

 - Also a lot of knitting during all of this media consumption.  Maybe I will finish my sweater soon!  I just have the bottom hem and the second sleeve left to do!
