Fav Shakespeare play?

i would prefer shakespeare's comedies especialy "much ado about nothing"&"twlve night",and "a midnight's dream" as well.

"A doubtful choice"

Cymbeline, Macbeth, or the Richard III (but only until he wins the crown, from then on the play suffers a lack of quality).

Hmmm ... very simple question that is hard to answer.

How can I say what my favourite play is if I haven't yet read all of them? And of those I read, it is difficult to choose "the best".

I like them all, but to pay due respect to one of the plays that is typically and unjustifiably ignored, I'll opt for "King John".

Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite comedy. Othello is my favorite tragedy. And for the histories--have to go with Richard III.

I'd have to go with Hamlet... because my (7th or 8th grade? Can't remember...) Literature teacher made it fun for us.

My favourite (not that I've read many) is Hamlet, because I liked the characters so much, especially Hamlet himself with whom I can relate with, Horatio, such a loyal and unsung friend and companion, and Laertes, a noble young man. The language and the soliloquies as well, with their power and beauty, send me into a world where only words makes sense, acting as pleasing and honest mirrors to life. Besides all, I really liked the story, as it is relevant now as it ever was. It's so easy to present as a modern play, in terms of theatre design and costume.

Definitely the Tempest. Although I haven't read all of the histories, yet.

I generally don't enjoy Shakespeare, but I must admit I loved Twelth Night. Allthough I have read only a small percentage of his plays, Twelth Night made the largest impression on me.

(This may be because it is the only one of Shakespeare's plays that I was able to see live.)

I intend, if I have time, to read all of Shakespeare's over the summer, so if anyone could suggest a relatively "easy" read to ease (yes, i am aware of the redundancy) me in I would be most appreciative.

So far I have read: Romeo & Juliet, Midsummer Night's Dream, Julius Caesar, and Twelth Night (never read but saw).

If I would have to pick one, it would be Hamlet.

However, I saw a British presentation once called The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, and it was the funniest thing I have ever seen,(at least in English class). It went quickly through all of the plays, and was hilarious.

apstudent,

Was that a BBC "Hamlet" with Derek Jacobi? In my opinion, he played that role brilliantly.

My favourite Shakespeare play (if i had to choose that is..) would be A midsummer night's dream. I read that in Seventh grade last year. We acted it out in class to get a better feel for it. It was like a soap opera, once i learned to read it properly, i would read ahead, becoming immersed in the play for long periods of time, rereading it over and over to make sure it was instilled in my brain.
The whole romeo and juliet thing,err....... let me see, boy(16) meets girl(14) they fall in love and risk everything, get married all over the course of what 2 days? dont get me wrong the whole idea of love at first sight is something i have entertained in my mind before, but it just seems so unrealistic.

I'd say Julius Caesar, Hamlet, or Much Ado About Nothing.

Hamlet is the most perfect work of English literature ever composed. Personally, I can't find anything wrong with it (never an awkward moment).

Macbeth is my favourite so far!
