gwynnegaShakespeare meme (started by rydra_wong and rachelmanija). Mostly these are productions I've seen on TV/video/DVD (I haven't seen a lot of live Shakespeare). References to "the BBC Complete" refer to the late 1970s-1980s BBC series. I remember watching a lot of the BBC Complete plays in the audiovisual lab at UCLA when I was studying Shakespeare at summer school with my favorite UCLA teacher Professor Allen. I'm not mentioning movie versions unless they're the only versions I've seen.
