My fave Shakespeare play would have to be Hamlet; I adore a good violent, dramatic tragedy, and I can relate all too well to Hamlet's depressed, bitter, indecisive nature. :)

My favorite Shakespeare play has to be Romeo and Juliet! It's the only Shakespeare play that I've read because it was required in high school, and I actually really enjoyed it! I would love to be able to see it on Broadway! Twitter: @kyledmorales
I love "Hamlet". I remember being transfixed by it as a child and trying hard to figure out what all the strange words meant. Growing up I became obsessed with all the film adaptations and sadly I've yet to see it onstage.

Macbeth is my favorite Shakespeare play. The Scottish play is so dark and tragic, yet powerful in its presentation. Even made better by Alan Cumming's one man effort!

Romeo and Juliet is my favorite because it is a classic love story. @mymusicboxes
Hamlet has always been my favorite. I love the language; I love Hamlet's battle with depression. I love a not-happy ending.

My favorite Shakespeare play is MACBETH because it's lean and action-packed. And Lady Macbeth is fierce! :)
@Scamandalous
Picking a favorite is hard... But in talking about Romeo & Juliet, it's the beauty of the tragedy of love that makes it powerful. The ultimate downfall of each character is that they are so blind to anything but love (romantic or otherwise). We all love, but it's important to be open to the world around us as well.

The tempest! Shipwrecks, monsters, drunks, magic, love... it has everything.
@misslizrichards
I actually enjoyed The Merchant Of Venice. Its a interesting story, one that still holds true today. I just remember reading it in high school and being so into it...
@alesandrak
A Midsummer Night's Dream... because faeries, lovers, and magic!

Twelfth Night. It's funny and sweet and Viola is kickass! @AshleyRaeBK
Romeo & Juliet.

My favorite is Taming of the Shrew. Which sounds like a terrible favorite to have, but I saw an amazing production that changed the play into a feminist piece without changing a word. It really showed me how Shakespeare can transcend even the time he wrote in. Plus who doesn't love 10 Things I Hate About You?

Until last year, I would have said Macbeth for the darkness & power in the text. However, after seeing Mark Rylance in Twelfth Night at The Globe in London last year, I have to go with that play. His performance (and that of the entire amazing cast) brought out aspects of the text I had never noticed before and made it a fantastic night. @hollisst
Hamlet. I love a good revenge story.
My favorite Shakespeare play is Hamlet. Because there's a line from it tattooed on my body. (more like there's a line from it tattooed on my body BECAUSE it's my favorite! :) )
@judgementali
My favorite just might be As You Like it. I worked on a production of that in college and even tho it was set work and 'effects of the magical forest of Arden' my work was called out positively by the local paper and the School paper. Take that away and I love Mackers, not just for the story itself, (and the fact that i am half Scots and a man not of woman born) but the impact it has had in all media since, up to and including the cartoon Gargoyles
And as usual I forgot my twitter above @ Movidude74
As You Like It is my favorite. It's the only Shakespeare play in which a woman holds the highest percentage of the lines. The comedy is great and the language is light and clever. One of my favorite productions of As You Like It was last year's Daniel Sullivan version at the Delecorte. A wonderful summer play.

"The Winter's Tale." Because if you think something is missing in the first act,it's probably hiding in plain sight in the second. also, a friggin bear, man. @musicalsrus
A Midsummer Night's Dream
I've always loved Macbeth! Saw it on broadway recently; it was wonderful.

Macbeth. It's thrilling, terrifying, has great roles for men and women, and its name is taboo! Intense if anything is intense.

As You Like It comes very close after the park last summer, but Twelfth Night will always have my heart.
