Are you really planning on doing that? I hope you report on it.

I wouldn't go in strict chronological order, because you'll end up with several less-than-good plays in a row. Loose chronological order, however, might be interesting because you'll see how his writing improves, how he tries versions of certain characters and themes early on and then does them better later.

For instance, I would conclude with The Tempest, which may not technically be his last but thematically works as a conclusion. And I would begin with one of his better early plays, like The Comedy of Errors or Richard III, rather than slogging through all three Henry VI plays, which might put you off the entire project.
