What is everyone's Shakespeare this year? (2 Viewers)

[iPhone4]

Hi everyone,

I know many of you are doing your AoS this term for Adv English, but I was curious as to what Shakespeare's you are doing/have done.

Year 9: Merchant of Venice (great teacher=good results)
Year 10: Macbeth (okay)
Year 11: Romeo and Juliet (play was alright, Shakespeare in Love was brilliant)
Year 12: Supposed to be As You Like It

Romeo and Juliet wasn't awful, but contrasting with Shakespeare in Love made a huge difference.

What have you people done?

 

[Kimyia]

Year 9 - Romeo and Juliet (ok but Baz Luhrmann's film killed it)
Year 10 - Macbeth (good)
Year 11 - Othello (loved it)
Year 12 - Julius Caesar (yet to be studied)

Same as above for years 9, 10 and 11.

Uni 1: Cymbeline (apparently strongest female character but not worth looking into)

Uni 3: Hamlet (fyeah david tennant version... conveniently available in full on youtube!), A Midsummer Nights' Dream (do like but so much PRANCING), As You Like It (love triangle quadrilaterial dondecahedron), Titus Andronicus (hated at first and made me do feminist rants every week, but realised I actually absolutely LOVE IT BEST SHAKESPEARE EVER), The Winter's Tale (weirdest ending ever and jk rowling totally stole the name hermione from here)
