Reading and memes

There's this "how many of these hundred books have you read, and which of them did you love?" going around my friendslist. Looking at people's posts, I have to ask: have that many of you actually read Venus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, Cymbeline, and Titus Andronicus?

(I have seen Cymbeline on stage.)

I've read the Revenger's Tragedy, but never seen a performance. I'd like to, though. Any play containing a character called 'Supervacuo' has to be worth seeing.

Try to track this one down. Chris Eccleston (Doctor Who #9) plays Vindici; Eddie Izzard is Lussurioso. The director, and guy behind the whole concept, is Alex Cox, the guy behind Repo Man and Sid and Nancy.

It's set in a post-holocaust Liverpool.

Have I convinced you yet that you MUST track a DVD of this down and watch it?

...nnnnot really. 'Fraid I'm not much of a fan of Christopher Eccleston, and I don't know a thing about the two films you mentioned.

Post-holocaust Liverpool sounds like an intriguing concept, though. I will consider it!
