And I have yet to write a single play.

The plays suffer by being read rather then watched but finding a Titus Andronicus that is just the play rather then a retelling, reworking and reinterpretation is kind of hard.

When I took a Shakespeare class (English Dep’t, ‘70s) I found that it was easier to absorb and understand the play if I read the text while listening to a recorded performance of it up in the mighty audio collection of the university library. And got the whole thing in one sitting as well.

Of course, at this point I have no idea which play it was. The professor put a different play on the syllabus each term, probably for his own sake. He was great, btw.
