Comdey of Errors

I finally finished the Comedy of Errors. I haven't gotten around to watching any versions of this and I don't think I will as the month is almost over. I did remember the production I was in and enjoyed replaying those scenes in my mind.
I remember hearing that Shakespeare was a punster and I don't know that I've really noticed it all that much before now. Comedy is full of puns, quite a few of which are groaners. I must also admit that I would have been oblivious of at least half of them with out the footnotes. Comedy is light, it's silly and somewhat ridiculous but there are some great scenes and verbal sparring. Not a bad place to enter Shakespeare, or begin to revisit Shakespeare.
I've been reading from my Shakespeare textbook: Riverside Shakespeare, I have the second edition. This work has all of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets and some other things besides; it also has tons of information and footnotes. It is however a beast, it's huge, thick and heavy.

The play I'm planning to read for next month is Macbeth, the Scottish play. I think I'll try to watch at least one version before I start reading. I haven't loved my encounters with Macbeth in the past, hopefully this one will be better. I have enjoyed a parody of Macbeth, Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett. For versions to watch, I recently received a collection of movies which included this version with Sean Connery. There's also this more recent version with Patrick Stewart that I might also watch.
For those that are interested in reading along, this version of the play is available online.
