 *NOTE: For those of you that hold that Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare, then you hold that the majority of these plays are also comments of courtlife under Elizabeth I. For those that hold Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, the listing of these plays under Reformation makes no sense.

Stirling Bridge Note: In the 1998 September Sampler of Stirling Bridge, a tremendous article entitled Shakespearean Word and Deed by Gregory Wilbur will be of infinite help when tackling Shakespeare!

 *Special Note: I would strongly recommend any Shakespeare audiobook which include Sir John Gielgud and/or the BBC. Sir John Gielgud's manner of presenting his Shakespearean character makes the character seem alive and real versus Richard Olivier presentation. Our children will sit and listen to Sir John Gielgud as they can follow what he is saying, but become quite distractable and lose interest with others.
