Cool Beans -- Congratulations and Well Done That Man!

I've seen maybe half a dozen Shakespeare plays, and have been fortunate enough to see them in Stratford-upon-Avon as well as in Stratford, Ontario (and other places as well).

Saw Titus Andronicus (in Stratford, Ontario) as a teenager, without having read it first or having any idea how gory it is. I found it very upsetting (and took it out on my poor mother, who had been kind enough to organise the trip for us two to see it. "How sharper than a serpent's tooth...!")

Unfortunately, my husband had Shakespeare ruined for him by school and now detests it, so my odds of seeing all the plays are quite small -- unless I became absolutely determined to do so -- which I confess is unlikely, even though I think it a worthwhile goal.
