I keep meaning to get around to Shakespeare's history and comedy plays. We only read Romeo and Juliet (which I hated, though oddly enough I enjoyed it weaved into the plot of Shakespeare in Love, whatever that says about me), Macbeth (which I actually enjoyed), and Hamlet (which induced a lot of 'you idiot' reactions) in high school. College I tested out of English, and honestly I wanted to leave Shakespeare alone a while after having been obligated to read it. Now, though...

Midsummer is a good place to begin, then?

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I'd say go with Midsummer first, then move on to some of the other comedies, including Much Ado About Nothing, and Twelfth Night. At least those are the ones I know and love.

I'd say stay away from Taming of the Shrew if you get easily pissed at misogynistic issues, because some of the stuff in the main story of it... yrch. If you don't mind watching 90s teen movie though, watch Ten Thing I Hate About You. It's Taming of the Shrew in a modern (American) highschool setting.

I actually really like Ten Things, lol.

Duly noted, thanks for the advice!

I am a big Shakespeare fan, but I really dislike Midsummer. I think Julius Caesar is a good easy play. I always like the ones with lots of famous lines :)

Much Ado About Nothing is fun, I like the Kenneth Branagh film.

Also Othello, incredibly disturbing because it's about domestic violence, but so contemporary, Iago is a classic character. Can't say I like it in that it's so nasty, but it's themes are very universal, racism, jealousy, bitterness about people doing better than you etc.

I find going to see the plays much better than reading them.

My favourite Shakespeare play is definitely "Richard III" - it's all wrong from an historical point of view, but it makes a great story.
