I definitely belong to the watch rather than read school. I think I just have an inbuilt resistance to reading plays because I loved "Gawain and the Green Knight" where the language is further removed from present day speech than Shakespeare's is. Mark you, I found "Antony and Cleopatra" nearly incomprehensible when it was on TV. Despite being reasonably well acquainted with the history it was dealing with, I had no idea what was going on most of the time. Still wept buckets at Cleopatra's death though. But then I did that in the Ancient History class at school reading Plutarch's account. So embarrassing.
