So we're reading Winter's Tale? Is there a start date or an end date for the reading?

The poll does not close till June 15th so we do not know for certain yet. And we will have till mid August to read the play.

I teach college and I really shouldn't complain about my excellent group of students. They completely made up for their lackluster reception of W.T. with a fantastic final discussion on the Tempest today.
Thanks Virg.I'll really try to make the time. The summer months should, at least hypothetically be less busy than the last quarter has been.

No more tie now - I voted for my favourite, Macbeth.![]()
O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.
Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797 - 1843) (see avatar) Der Knabe im Moor/The Lad in the Moor
come come, how can we pass over the great Autolycus who even the clown will "swear to
the prince thou art a tall fellow of thy hands and
that thou wilt not be drunk; but I know thou art no
tall fellow of thy hands and that thou wilt be
drunk: but I'll swear it, and I would thou wouldst
be a tall fellow of thy hands." - great line...

I am glad to see this is started back up. I have been in school again for the past year and haven't had much time for reading. I purchased the complete works a couple weeks ago and was uncertain where to start. I have read Romeo and Juliet and about half of A Midsummer Night's Dream so far so it will be fun to join you all. Not really sure what to vote for though.

Oh how many times have people read Macbeth. Let's try something different. Winter's Tale!!

I'm with you in principle Virgil but I haven't read Macbeth since school and its such a great play, I was going to read it again this year anyway - I re-read Romeo and Juliet back in Feb. I was surprised to find Juliet was only 13, I think modern media would make a different tale - Deranged paedophile Romeo causes death of young girl in suicide pact- or a headline not to dissimilar.![]()

Yeah but Romeo was prtetty young himself. I don't ecall the age but I would guess no more than 16.
