King John by William Shakespeare
4.0
Book 24 of 2023: King John by William Shakespeare
Not my favorite play by Shakespeare, but I have enjoyed reading it with my Shakespeare group, discussing the historical context. I find it interesting that when these plays were originally performed, the crowd enjoyed the historical plays more; in contrast to today where most people know the tragedies and a few comedies, but have never heard of the historical plays.
