William Shakespeare (what is your favorite?)

Same here I love Macbeth!

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

😄

Personal favorite is Act 4, Scene 1.

I'm with BKK on this one, having seen Macbeth performed on seven occasions, and having played the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor at school... my favourite shakespeare character however, has to be Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet (played him, too...) "A prick... but ask of me tomorrow and you will find me a grave man..."

I like the whole "Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?" routine.

Nice to be back, Kitty... oh, btw, thanks for what you said on my birthday thread!

Romeo and Juliet

I like Midsummer Night's Dream...but of course I'd be kinda partial to that one, I performed in it ✅

I liked 'Midsummer's Night Dream' and 'Julius Ceaser'. Although when I heard that there was some evidence that he may have stolen some of the plays, I was shocked. But if it was him, he was pretty darn good at doing what he did!!!!!! AN amazing poem by him was 'Lucrece' or however yoy spell her name. I'm guessing he went crazy at some time or tragicaly lost a girlfriend etc.

romeo and juliet. because true love never dies. 🙂

Shakespeare's poem Lucretia was based on Livy's historical account of the wicked ancient Roman primce who raped a noble woman, the ensuing scandal serving as a catalyst for revolution which saw an end to the Roman monarchy 25 centuries ago 🙂 Livy did it from a storytelling point of view though.

macbeth right now
i wish we could perform the play, cuz i'd love to act Lady Macbeth

I also really liked Othello...we read that last year in school and I liked it a lot.

I'm so mad...my school's planning on putting on another Shakespeare play next year, but this is my last year there...I won't get to be in it!

Reading Macbeth, I also like Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet

i havent read a lot so far but i like midsummer's night dream and hamlet 🙂

Much Ado About Nothing, or Hamlet.

Do you know me, my Lord?
Excellent well, you are a fishmonger.

Do Sonnets count?

I've only read one of his works, which was Twelfth Night. I liked it a bit. I had to read it in school.

My faves are, much ado about nothing, hamlet, and macbeth, although i prefer the terry pratchett spoof of macbeth ( wierd sisters) its really funny.

Hey has anyone noticed that kenneth branagh is in every shakespere film that he screen writes, produces or directs? i mean hes good at the parts he plays, but you'd have thought hed have enough to do without being in it aswell.

Midsummer Night's Dream!
It's hilarious!
