    For the non-Brits on here: what Shakespeare did you study in Highschool and College?

    I've only done Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, and that was in my freshman year of High School/9th grade. We're going to be doing A Midsummer's Night Dream or whatever it's called very soon, and I'm in my sophomore year of High School/10th grade currently.

    Shakespeare is the most pointless thing to learn about. Ever.

    I recall 'learning' about Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet, I think. When we were 'learning' about Romeo and Juliet it was that that AWFUL modern movie. Good GOD it sucked!

    Yep, our GCSE English course in Shakespeare was watching Romeo + Juliet (with Leonardo DiCaprio) too.

    I liked it though

    A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, Macbeth and Othello, in that order. Othello has been the most fun to study, since we're doing it in greater depth than the others.
    "The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    We learned about Macbeth ages ago and Romeo and Juliet for GCSE. We saw an old movie of it, which was pretty boring. The modern version is awful, I remember watching that a while ago "for fun". We also had to perform an extract from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in year 8...I was the wall. -_-

    We learned about Macbeth for GCSE coursework. It was very confusing at times but I think I did okay in the essay

    The only one we did was Macbeth. We only did a few scenes, and that was just course work, for which I am eternally grateful. If it had been an exam piece I would have, of course, killed myself.

    We did Romeo and Juliet pre-GCSE. We watched the modern film. I admit that I enjoyed it. Except god DAMN he took a long time to die.

    I had to do Macbeth for my Standard Grades - Scottish exams. It wasn't so bad.

    We've read Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar so far. And that's about it.
