Shakespeare I've Seen

A while back, I decided to keep track of which Shakespeare plays I've seen when (and by whom), with the goal of eventually seeing all of them, at least once.

This list includes faithful filmed versions, but omits meta-Shakespeare interpretations and the truncated versions compiled in Silent Shakespeares. I have also actually read several of the plays I haven't yet seen, but am not counting those either.

As long as I'm compiling lists, here's my record regarding Marlowe's plays.

Since Marlowe is performed so infrequently (and because there are so few), I'm including those I've only read, but not seen:
