kaberettIn that I have studied Merchant of Venice and Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth at secondary school (including being shown Macbeth on the Estate; our teacher attempted to fast forward through the dubious stairwell sex scene In Accordance With Edict and actually just got the VHS stuck on it); Twelfth Night in a variety of set-ups, largely at the Edinburgh Fringe, where I very much enjoyed it (it was SO GAY); and I have furthermore seen All's Well That Ends Well and A Midsummer Night's Dream as parts of the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival (John's, I think, and Girton, respectively, and in fact almost certainly More Plays I just don't remember... which).
The thing I've seen unambiguously the most variants of is Much Ado About Nothing, which is My Fave. My cousins introduced me to the 1993 Branagh/Thompson film; the Joss Whedon travesty, once only, so that I had; the Tate/Tennant production; an incredibly American Shakespeare-in-the-park production in LA back in 2011; and a version in the Globe, a few years ago, which I thought I had written up but cannot immediately find and will attempt to dig up in the morning, but right now I am going to bed.
... please ask me about my feelings about Much Ado and the variations in staging I have seen. I HAVE FEELINGS.
