What would be a quick, easy Top Ten for me? As I look to the shelf to my left, I see my collection so Shakespeare's works. I don't want to make Much Ado About Nothing, so I'm going to let you Take this as You Like It: my Top 10 Shakespeare plays.
- "King Henry IV, part 2"*
- "King Henry IV, part 1"*
- "King Henry V"*
- "King Richard III"*
- "King Lear"
- "Julius Caesar"
- "Romeo and Juliet"
- "The Taming of the Shrew"
- "Hamlet, Prince of Denmark"
- "The Tempest"
To be fair, it's hard for me to Measure for Measure because I haven't read them all. But all of you Merry Wives (of Windsor) reading my blog out there, don't get all in a Tempest. This isn't a Lover's Complaint. Maybe I'll work on rounding this out over the next couple of years...
I wish I were off to a Midsummer Night's Dream, but unfortunately this is more of a Winter's Tale. I'm going to go to bed now, or there might need to be some Taming of the Shrew at 6am prayer with 2 Gentlemen from Verona, err, I mean people from my church. Oh well, All's Well that End's Well.
*These plays form a collection called the Henriad that tells a consecutive story. The Henriad is my favorite of all of Shakespeare's work, so those four as a collection really made my top four, more than as individual plays.
Thanks AC! I don't know if you remember this, but as I wrote this I thought about the time I did this for you with Celine Dion songs. Hehehe...
