Exit, Pursued By....

stolen from http://shakespearememes.tumblr.com
I am still playing with Tynan's list of plays. Here are three  more sections. One is Tynan's Shakespeare set: another is by a French playwright who was pretty big up until the 1980s. Dryden has his fans, too...


Dryden
Marriage a la Mode
Limberham (King Keeper)
Amphitryon
Rival Ladies
Spanish Friar
Indian Queen
Indian Emperor (Conquest of Mexico)
Conquest of Granada
All for Love
Aureng-Zebe
Sir Martin Mar-All
Anouilh


Roméo et Jeannette
Sauvage
Bal des Voleurs (Thieves’ Carnival)
Eurydice (Point of Departure)
Ardèle
Invitation au Château (Ring Round the Moon)
Alouette (Lark)
Ornifle
Becket
Hurluberlu
Medée
Pauvre Bitos
Voyageur sans Bagages
Rendezvous à Senlis (Dinner with the Family)
Répétition (Rehearsal)
Antigone
Colombe
Valse des Toreadors

Comedy of Errors*
Titus Andronicus*
Love’s Labour’s Lost*
Two Gentlemen of Verona*
All’s Well That Ends Well*
Taming of the Shrew
Romeo and Juliet*
Midsummer Night’s Dream*
Merchant of Venice*
Henry VI (1,2,3)
Richard II*
King John
Richard III*
Henry IV (1,2)*
Henry V*
Merry Wives of Windsor*
Measure for Measure*
Much Ado About Nothing*
As You Like It*
Twelfth Night*
Troilus and Cressida*
Winter’s Tale*
Henry VIII
Timon of Athens*
Julius Caesar*
Coriolanus*
Antony and Cleopatra*
Pericles* Hamlet* Macbeth*
Othello* 
King Lear* Cymbeline*Tempest*
The stars represent those plays actually performed by the National Theatre. Any questions about the priorities of the British stage? 

I am also wondering what Henry VI did to upset the nation. Taming  is obviously too sexist for a modern company...
