Determine Which Shakespeare Play You Should Watch First With This Flowchart
Shakespeare died over 400 years ago, but his plays are still performed every day by theater companies around the world. If you’re unsure of where to start, this flowchart will help you decide which piece you should watch first.
The flowchart, created by artist Mia Gosling of Good Tickle Brain , starts with a simple question: What do you want to do? If you want to laugh, you start looking at plays like Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night’s Dream . If you want to cry, you will go to Hamlet or King Lear . Or, if you are like me and want to watch people run with swords and are interested in the history of England, you can chart a course for Henry V and Richard III .
Whether you are new to Shakespeare or just haven’t touched it since high school, there is something for everyone. So check out the complete block diagram below. And if you really dig, by the end of the month you can buy a poster version for your office or classroom.
