bardic_ladyWorking on research proposals apparently saps my will to meme. Playing catchup:
Day #15: The first play you read
It's a close thing but I'm fairly certain that the first play I read was Comedy of Errors. It could easily have been Midsummer, I read them in the same Spring. Comedy of Errors was in preparation to play Dromio of Syracuse, Midsummer in preparation to see it live at Theatricum Botanicum. Where I also had a walk on as a fairy, narrowly edging Comedy of Errors as my first time onstage in Shakespeare. (3rd grade, for those wondering)
Day #16: The First Play You Saw
Hard to say. I suppose, technically, because I was IN that Midsummer, I didn't see it per se. But by that logic... um... Tempest! I saw a traveling English production of Tempest in 5th grade. (After that, the next Shakespeare I wasn't working on would be high school, which just seems silly)
