The ones I mentioned I have both seen and read. I have also read Othello and The Tempest and parts of several others (generally soliloquies).

    Interesting that everyone below mentions movies ... I disagree. There's never been a Shakespearean movie that compared to watching it live in my opinion.

I really get the sense that the audience is supposed to be very present for these plays, which makes sense as that was the norm for the time.
