Hi everyone,

I know many of you are doing your AoS this term for Adv English, but I was curious as to what Shakespeare's you are doing/have done.

Year 9: Merchant of Venice (great teacher=good results)
Year 10: Macbeth (okay)
Year 11: Romeo and Juliet (play was alright, Shakespeare in Love was brilliant)
Year 12: Supposed to be As You Like It

Romeo and Juliet wasn't awful, but contrasting with Shakespeare in Love made a huge difference.

What have you people done?

So so true about Bas Luhrmann's film killing the whole plot about Romeo and Juliet. I mean come on - Mercutio being a transvestite?
