I have long been a fan of Shakespeare's writings, but only recently had the opportunity to see some of his plays performed live. Therefore,
you'll find reviews of both stage and movie adaptations. Please note that these are *my* honest opinions. I stand in awe of the performers,
though I am critical at all times. If you feel I am offensive or unjust, please contact me (link above).

The Globe had five plays on its programme: "Dido, Queen of Carthage" & "Edward II" by Christopher Marlowe and "Richard II", "Richard III" and "The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare. I saw all of these at least once, all in all I attended about twenty performances in the three months I spent in London this summer. The reviews are sorted by date.
