Though I cringe every time I utter these words, personally, I would not call myself a huge fan of Shakespeare's historical plays, but I hold "Henry VIII" in a high regard, especially after having seen it on stage; if you feel up for a good historical play, indeed, I would recommend it.Originally Posted by neilgee
If you want more action, then I definitely ought to promote "Titus Andronicus," as mentioned by kelby lake, a very violent, gruesome play, one of Shakespeare's earliest; "Pericles" also has plenty of good action, too. Out of all of them, nonetheless, I would recommend "Cymbeline" the strongest - an entrancing plot, a good balance of action with thoughtful scenes, and, as Lokasenna said, very underrated and neglected as one of Shakespeare's best, in my opinion.
All the luck!
*edit*
I heard about this, and feel really curious about it. He played the lead role in "Hamlet" also at its annual playing in Kronborg Castle, in northern Denmark, where Shakespeare intended the play, which received great reviews; bearing this in mind, also considering his talent in acting, it would not surprise me if Jude Law gave a great performance. Somehow, however, I would like to predict that the audience will consist almost entirely of eyelash-batting women.Originally Posted by Veva
