Top Ten Tuesday is the brainchild of The Broke & the Bookish. Every Tuesday, we compile a list of our literary Top 10, and then add it to the blog hop.
This week is all about our Top 10 FREEBIE – So I chose Top 10 Favourite Plays.
I am pretty sure I could fill this entire list with Shakespeare’s works, but here are some plays I saw live on stage or via National Theatre Live, and which blew me away!
Special mention to the below version of Richard III as directed by Jamie Lloyd for Trafalgar Transformed – this is the play and the adaptation (set in 1979 Britain after a military coup, with Martin Freeman as Richard III see my review HERE) that finally unlocked Shakespeare for me!
When I read the title of this post the first thing I thought was, “Do I have to use something else besides Shakespeare?” So I wasn’t surprised to read your sentence, “I am pretty sure I could fill this entire list with Shakespeare’s works,”

Believe me, I was tempted. But I thought I’d give more recent works a mention as well 😊

I’ve read very few plays, but Midsummer Night’s Dream is a favorite!

I’ve never seen a Shakespeare play, only read them but I’d love to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream someday.

Hi! Ooooh, I hardly ever read plays–except for all the Shakespeare in college. Although my very favorite of all time is Waiting for Godot. 🙂 It’s like my theme song haha. Cool topic choice!
