Greatest Shakespearean Play of all time?


Here is my list:

1. Hamlet (BEST play EVER!)
2. A Midsummer Nights Dream
3. Macbeth
4. Romeo and Juliet

The others don't really have a placing...but Hamlet is certainly my favourite...I think my university lecturer said it best when he mentioned Hamlet's soliloquies...once he starts to speak you just want him to keep going forever.....perhaps one of the greatest plays of all time.

It's one of Devere's better works. I wouldn't call it his best, but it's certainly highly entertaining.

Macbeth
Hamlet
The Winter's Tale
As You Like It
I refuse to choose between A Midsummer Night's Dream and Twelfth Night, so I'll have both.

But you ARE Blanche ... and I AM.
