Favourite Shakespeare play
I'm going to see 'A Midsummer's Night Dream' this evening but I think if push came to shove, I'd pick 'Twelfth Night' over it.
Always quite liked 'The Merchant of Venice' too.

henry V
or macbeth
idk
but i like romeo and juliet, though
idk
I saw Othello at the Globe last year
It was good. Standing up for 3 hours wasn't.
Othello's pretty good
Coriolanus sounds like a bunch of boring arse and is a bunch of boring arse.
Also an honourable mention to Macbeth and specifically the Banquo character.
Even if I have probably spelt his name wrong.

Othello and Titus Andronicus
The Merchant of Venice is great
^ anti-semite
What of it?
:O
gie us a pound o flesh, mate
Screwed already?
What Shakespeare say?
"He who doth post faster than the swift shall fly shall breaketh threads"
The Merchant Of Venice
anything except Measure for Measure
that's just fucking stupid.
Hamlet
Genuinely terrific.
The rest are a bit meh
Ignore that last bit
I'm not logged in still.
Definitely Hamlet, good call.
Studied it for Literature a few years back, and it absolutely fascinated me. The amount of time you can spend trying to uncover the literature, and yet still not find all of its secrets is mindblowing.
I <3 Shakespeare
That's the first time you've posted any sense

c'mon... I'm not really quite as far-out as I might seem. Am I really that bad? Are we cool?
Did anyone see David Tennant in it?
I really would've like to have gone. I saw it years ago in Stratford and it has Timothy West's son as Hamlet.
It had TWO intervals it's so long.
where to start with Shakespeare though ?
Do I get his early stuff or stick with the the post Berlin phase Bowie/Iggy stuff ?
The answer is...
Henry IV parts I & II
Hamlet or Titus Andronicus.
Midsummer Night's Dream is gay with a capital DALE WINTON.
The Tempest
Similar to Midsummer Night's Dream in tone, but more action/less gay.
how many people have read them all?
i can only comment on the 3 i've read (at school) -
romeo&juliet
merchant of venice
hamlet
of which, i liked Hamlet the best.
I've read or seen 17...
... it's also fairly commonly accepted that there are a handful which just aren't worth it (e.g. Coriolanus), which narrows it down as well (that ends well).
The Scottish Play.
Merchant of Venice and......
The Scottish play!
Twelfth Night, innit?
Lechary!? I defy lechary!
Feste = Greatest Shakespeare character ever.
