1. Othello performed live in Santa Fe.

2. Favorite is Hamlet. I know whatever. 3. Least favorite is Romeo and Juliet. I just can't relate to that play! Actually Taming of the Shrew might be worse.

4. Shakespeare. Not sure that it matters to me.

5. Othello in Santa Fe,
Henry VI pt 3 in Stratford,
The Tempist and King Lear in London,
MacBeth at Boscobel,
Hamlet in Sydney,
Much Ado About Nothing, The Tempist and Hamlet in several other locations.

I am 103% sure that I am forget a number of performances. I am pretty sure I saw Richard III live but do not remember where.

One of the most interesting Hamlets I saw was a fairly complete rendering of the full play performed by just three actors.

Too many film versions to contemplate. I really like Ian McKellen's Richard III, and didn't care for Mel Gibsons's Hamlet.

I did a bit of Googling and I'm convinced the play I saw was Taming of the Shrew. I remember admiring all the shoes.

This year the local Arts Festival has a Shakespeare theme going on, with Midsummer Night's dream as the opening act. All tickets sold out within the morning it started to go on sale.
