    Quite an impressive challenge! Good luck during the last week…that’s a LOT of tragedy. I’m going to tell my students about this tomorrow.

    Best of luck!

    PS: Part of me would’ve gotten a kick out of seeing Julius Caesar read on the ides of March. But, w/e it’s your list.

    You know, I may just have to tweak the schedule – Julius Caesar on the Ides of March is a genius idea. : )

    Thanks for passing on the word to your students! Any and all would be most welcome!

    This is going awesomely. :D Though, I started a bit late, but I’ve read some of them already, so I’m catching up. Thanks for starting this! :D

    I’m so glad you’re enjoying! I must say, I’m very impressed that you’re managing to catch up – I’m still catching up from getting one and a half plays behind last week!
