Fav Shakespeare play?

History: Henry V
Tragedy: The Scottish Play (Macbeth)
Comedy: The Tempest (I think this is a comedy
:-?, but even if it is not, it is my favorite! )

My favorite was Macbeth until I had the oppertunity to play Claudius in Hamlet. It gave me such an in-depth look into every scene of the play. Now I am directing Macbeth, so we'll see which I like better when all is said and done.

If you ever get the oppertunity to play in an amiture production, I strongly recomend that you take it. It will make you think about the characters, their personalities, their motives, ect. alot more than just reading or watching one of the plays.

I'll HAVE to go for the Tragedy History comedy division- impossible to settle for one otherwise.
So- Tragedy- Macbeth.
History- RichardIII
Comedy- Much Ado about Nothing. (only for Beatrice and Benedict though, Hero drives me right up the wall!)

in my opinion it a close match between "Tempest" and "Julius Caesar"
(if you have read Caesar plz take a look at my thread about it and let me know your thoughts) 8)

The best Tragedy would have to be Macbeth.
The best comedy would have to be Taming of the Shrew.
That is one hilariouse play, I laughed, especially when Katarina is first introduced.

The Tragty of Juliet and her Romeo

How many Shakespeare plays have you read Nic?

i really enjoyed romeo and juliet
but a midsummer's night dream was really good--also

I love his tragedies (although Titus and R&J made me want to choke...the latter even more.)

My favorite would be, Macbeth, Hamlet coming in a close second.

I think it's very hard to choose, they are all great, but after a lot of thinking I have to say Othello, and I also like Two gentlemen of Verona, Valentines speech about Sylvia shows beauty and love only Shakespeare could bring to words. Midsummer nights dream is also very good, and funny.

I haven't read enough of Shakespeare to pick a favorite, I like all the ones I've read so far. But I just wanted to say that I recently saw a version of Midsummer Night's Dream where Benny Hill plays Bottom. Hilarious!

Bottom is such a cool character. Total show stealer.

I agree he's the funniest character in A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is definately my fave.

My favourite play is Mcbeth ecause i did the play in year 6 to the queen and i studied it in English

Loved a Midsummer Night's Dream. Also, got to see it at the Geary Theatre in San Francisco. So! wonderful
