Oh! I also saw a highschool performance of a A Midsummer Night's Dream, but it didn't leave much of an impression on me.

@ajroach42@retro.social there's a film version I've seen but it didn't really land or leave much of an impression on me. I really dug TheTempest when we read it in college. And I dig strange brew, which is reverse hamlet (a comedy where everybody lives)

@ajroach42@retro.socia I've seen more of his plays than I've read, but there are several I know the story of because of cultural osmosis -- like, I've never seen either the magnificent 7 nor 7 samurai, but I've seen enough homages that I know the story. Like, there's a Taming of the Shrew episode of Moonlighting (in iambic pentameter, even!).
