Hamlet....if you do not want to read it, the Mel Gibson (yes you read correctly) version is very good and very true to the dialogue

Favorite Shakespeare

Ok, so some of you may find it odd, but the only Shakespearian play I've ever read was Romeo & Juliet. So, it is my favorite by default! I need to read more though! So which is your favorite?

Watch Kenneth's Brannaugh's Hamlet too. It is better than Mel's or at least as good--just in case Mel is seeing this. But King Lear is the best of the tragedies. It has more depth, but then he wrote in an the end of his career. -

Othello, by far the best in my opinion. But, I also enjoy Much Ado about Nothing! Having taught Romeo and Juliet for the past 9 years, I know it very well. I still find something new in Othello every time I revisit it. That excites me!
