What is your favorite Shakespearean play?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on February 25, 2008
“‘Macbeth.’ I just like the opening scene with the witches. It’s typical Shakespearean tragedy.”
“With the ides of March approaching, I’d have to say ‘Julius Caesar.’”
“‘Much Ado about Nothing,’ because it’s one of the few Shakespearean plays I understand.”
“I’m going to have to go with ‘Hamlet.’ That sounds cliche, but I think it’s probably just because it’s the last one I read.”

One of the ones where everyone dies, or one of the ones where everyone has humorous sexual proclivities. Can't make up my mind.

One would think that "smoothie makers" would have some sort of bizarre hip name like the coffee pourers do with "barista".

the one where one person is in love with a forbidden one and must choose or die or become a nun or a queen or a king or something and so they flee and it's all very tragic but really funny.

What is funny about all the humorous postings of modern movies is that many of these have a basis in Shakespeare's stories. My favorite is Midsummer's Night Dream, because it's so funny on all sorts of levels.

Allow me to distinquish between "favorite" and "most profound."
Favorite: Romeo & Juliette
Most profound: King Lear
IMHO, of course.
Godot (anonymous) says…
wait, wait, most profound is Othello.
No, Hamlet.
Funniest: The Tempest.
No, Midsummer's night dream.
