Shakespeare Challenge

Miss Erin has a challenge. To set up some kind of Shakespeare goal for yourself. Here is mine:
...to read all of Shakespeare's plays. Tragedies, Comedies, and Histories. No Deadline. But, there is a catch. This time around. I will be reading translations of his work. Still the play, just in simpiler english. I would like to understand it if at all possible. I will then choose 1 or 2 of my favorites out of each catogory and read the orginal play.


The list is below:
Crossed out=I've read it
Bold= plays I have either been in or seen a film/live production of.

On the right of the plays, I have written the role I would love to be in that play.

Love's Labour's Lost

I also want to read all of Shakespeare's plays! Time is a little short now, but maybe over the summer?
