    34. Cymbeline

    My first feeling on reading Cymbeline was shock that this play is so little known and so rarely performed. Of all of Shakespeare’s plays,...

    31. Antony and Cleopatra

    I feel like Antony and Cleopatra is one of those plays that you know and yet really don’t know at the same time. It still conjures up...
