400 years since his death, and in commemoration, tell us your stories about the great bard

I studied MacBeth and The Merchant of Venice at school. ..

The former was great, especially the Roman Polanski film version; but the latter I found turgid

"His comedies were not funny"

I absolutely love the tragedies, but can't agree more with this...only English teachers find his comedies funny.

Have studied Romeo and Juliet, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Midsummer Nights Dream, Julius Caesar, Henry the Fifth, A Comedy Of Errors- there's others but can't think which ones right now.

Standout for me - Henry the Fifths' St Crispin Day speech, from which the phrase 'Band of Brothers' sprang xx

Saw Kim Cattrell as Cleopatra a couple of years back, which was brilliant. Love Macbeth and Much Ado (which I do think is funny albeit I am not an English teacher).

The BBC did a really excellent series of Shakespeare Retold a few years ago, well worth it for anyone in need of a Bard Boxset Fix.

I dragged my ex to an outdoor production of As You Like It a few years back, suffice to say that the 'warm up' act of an HOUR's worth of Morris dancing did not set him up to approach his new experience with an open mind. Fortunately, I offered to be duty driver so he could numb his pain. (Apparently not enough car chases or helicopter gunships).

Lovie, in this crazy business we like to call show, one should never use the name of "the Scottish play" in a theatre it bad luck, I remember the first time I did Shakespeare, my bottom was a sight to behold,

I studied Twelfth Night at school and loved it (and find it very funny) - I have seen several versions since - indoors, outdoors, professional, amateur, once by a company of disabled actors, once played entirely in Northern accents and once - rather hazily in a fog of university drugs - took part in an all-male naked version of the famous Malvolio finds-the-letter scene, performed for incredulous friends

Happy birthday Will

Do you bite your thumb at us sir?

Romeo & Juliet was the first one I studied.

I liked Coriolanus as its one of the more obscure plays.

I think he's like marmite - you love his work or hate it.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

I take my sister to the Globe once a year to see a performance. Last year was Measure for Measure, which was a bit meh. The year before was The Tempest, which was awesome.

I have the first Hollow Crown boxset, and looking forward to the next one coming out. I also have the Roman Polanski MacBeth DVD and the Julius Caesar with Marlon Brando in.

I was fortunate when at school as it was not too far from Stratdord and we we were able to see plenty of plays at the RSC.

Always enjoy a bit of live Shakey.

From the title of this thread I thought this was another excuse for blokes to get their willies out...

Anyway, The Bard. Studied Macbeth at school (both primary and secondary) really liked it as an intriguing story and morality tale.

I also liked the film adaption of Romeo and Juliet by Baz Luhman.

Read Merchant of Venice, liked it.

Bad joke (nicked from Peter Kay) Shakespeare walks into a pub. Landlord says "Get out. You're bard"

Not here

The RSC performed a season in Newcastle for many years and one of the most memorable that I remember the late 70s Taming of the Shrew when just before the lights went down, a d*unk caused a commotion in the theatre, eventually getting up on stage and knocking over the set. We were all horrified but it turned out to be Jonathan Pryce who played Petruchio,the central character. Totally convincing and different!

The Merchant of Venice is one of my favourites. I did it as part of my dissertation.
