I've made a community icon! This may not be worthy of a post, but it's pretty and I wanted to show it off. ;) (It's not the one I'm using for this post.)

Also, because you knew it had to happen, the obligatory History Plays survey: which one's your favorite? ;)

I was doing a go-back-&-reread-more-obscure-Shakespeare thing not so long ago, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed King John (http://www.shakespeare-literature.com/King_John/).

Diverting slightly from Shakespeare, two of the plays in my M.A. thesis were Peele's Edward Longshanks and Marlowe's Edward II. Definitely a contrast between two radically different monarchs.

King John all the way.

I'm quite fond of King John, myself. Someday I would love to play Constance, which is a role that would really emphasize my strengths as an actor (i.e. a willingness to be a raving psychotic)... ;)

I just read Edward Longshanks not that long ago! It's a weird play. I have the impression that it never really figures out what sort of play it wants to be...
