So here are the rules:
- The challenge will run for four months, beginning from January 2015.
- Each month, there will be a monthly theme.
- A master post will be published shortly before the challenge begins.
- Participants are expected to read and post a review each month, and post it in the upcoming Master Post.
We want to keep the theme wide enough in order to allow everybody huge options. So I'll just split plays into four categories based on the period when they were written and assign each period to each month.
January: Ancient Plays, including Greek and Roman plays
February: Renaissance Plays, including Shakespeare and his contemporaries
March: Post-Renaissance Plays, anything post Renaissance is allowed. Wilde and Shaw are very welcome
April: Freebie Plays, if you find any particular playwright interesting during the 3 months, feel free to read another of his/her plays. Or if you want to experiment with other genre or other playwright, you are in.
So, please sign in using the linky below with your name and the name of your blog (e.g. Listra - Half-Filled Attic). I'd be thrilled by your participation.
I'm in! I would read a Shakespeare and a Marlowe for Feb, and if I could, I'd join the other months too. This would be fun, Listra! Thanks for hosting it...

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this! This looks like it will be tons of fun and hopefully I'll get some of those plays I've been meaning to read taken care of. :)

ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm so excited to start reading some lovely plays.
DeleteHi, I'm doing this one. I've never done a play reading challenge, so I'm going to try this. Plays are a very quick read. This should be fun.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. It's short but requires a lot of imagination. That's what exciting about it. So let's have some fun.
DeleteOk, I have finished the challenge. Here is what I have read:
