Tell us who you are (or not).

If you could choose to enact any Shakespearan character, which would you choose and why?

Mine would be Hamlet because he's a windbag, a perfect excuse to talk a lot which is contrary to my nature.

Ooh, cool question.

I would play King Lear because he is such a powerful, tragic character. He is a character that at first has such hubris but later turns into a good character. His and Cornelia's death scene, especially, would be fun to play.

disdaimona or juliet i suppose. So tragic figures... but i think juliette more. She is more active. She takes her destiny into her own hands in spite of being murdered by the one she loves. She decides to die for the one she loves. Isn't it really romantic?

I would like to play Beatrice from Much Ado about Nothing :) I'd enjoy the witty banter of her and Benedick.

My top choices would be:

1. Touchstone from As You Like It
2. Trinculo from The Tempest
3. Fool from King Lear

Senior Benedick

Cleopatra

Not to proud to admit it,but I'd probably be Iago:)

Prince Hal or Henry V. Same person, different plays. ;)

definitely Hamlet (though i am of a different gender =))
he is a philosopher and he is vey active, he knows what he wants of life.
and i like Cleopatra, her way of loving is out of this world....

That's funny, Hamlet knowing what he wants of life. He wants to kill his uncle right before the grave digging scene, yet doesn't during it, and does again right after. He surely knows what he wants in life. Though I must agree with you on that he is a philosophy, he seems to be echoed by philosophers constantly, even hundreds of years later.

I enacted Iago in college. It was Fun!:p (more than likely the reason why i ended up as the devil Titivillus in the play Mankind!)

I think i'd go for Rosalind from As you Like It.

Hamlet, without question, simply because at this point I don't think I would have to do much acting...
