It’s been a goal of mine to be a Shakespeare ‘completist’ for some time, and this, gentle reader, is the year I’m going to do it. You are cordially invited to join in, follow along, comment on your favorite plays, share your favorite adaptations, etc.

I’m starting with The Taming of the Shrew, and I’ll be following the Royal Shakespeare Company’s chronology. One has to go in some order, and chronologically fits well with my historian’s brain.

The Taming of the Shrew will be familiar ground–read it, acted in it (Bianca), and seen the Elizabeth Taylor film adaptation. I’m curious to see what I think of it this time around.
