Not that I'm a huge fan of Shakespeare's plays, but this past Friday evening I saw a play of A Midsummer Night's Dream at my school. I don't like Shakespeare's plays, but I liked this one because it was a comedy. Tragedies where the main character got revenge by killing tons of people and then dying themselves just gets boring after awhile. What is everyone else's favorite Shakespeare play? (If you even like his plays, that is.)

Whew!

I actually don't believe the superstitions, I've been an actor so long that I'm used to calling it The Scottish Play (I've been conditioned; if I call it MacBeth I get yelled at).

King Lear and Hamlet were both really good. But I'm going to have to say Twelfth Night. It's hilarious! Especially at the end when Lady Olivia finds out that the man she's fallen in love with was really a woman in disguise. :lol:

My favorites are "Romeo & Juliet" and "Othello". The only thing that bugged me about "Othello" was that they kept calling Iago "Honest Iago." YEAH RIGHT! LOL
