I can beat that. I've read: Troilus and Cressida, Romeo and Juilet, Hamlet, Richard III, Henry V, Julius Caesar, Othello, The Tempest, Twelfth Night and I've seen television productions of Macbeth and King Lear. I've seen Romeo and Juilet performed at the Globe.

the only shakespeare i've truly loved (or, hell, even enjoyed) --

Macbeth:
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Did you guys know William Shakespeare was featured in a computer game?

Noooo?

The game in question is titled "Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader".

Any game with Shakespeare in has got to be great!!!!!!!!!!!

I own a copy of said game. It's been a long time since I played it last but I think Shakespeare requests that you rescue a "damsel" from the evil clutches of a lowlife money lender. The "damsel" is the inspiration behind a new play he's writing. I believe the game is very rare. :)

Hmmmm, intriguing.

I find it most difficult to choose between The Tempest and Timon of Athens. I tend to choose The Tempest, but that's probably because I am named after Sebastian in said play ("A pox upon your throat, you bawling, blasphemous, incharitable dog!"). If I were being totally objective then I might be forced to say that the superbly intense Timon of Athens is superior.

which do you prefer, the plays or the sonnets?

midsummer, by far is my favourite shakespeare wpork.

I guess I should like the merchant of venice, but meh.

the tempest is so, so boring. (imho)

perfect
