What is Gregs favorite Shakespeare play?
Greg’s answer: Wow. That’s a tough one. My favorite character is definitely Edmund from KING LEAR. But I love so many of the plays. Some of my favorites are influenced by great productions I’ve seen. (HENRY V, A WINTER’S TALE, ROMEO & JULIET, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, RICHARD III, HENRY IV, PART ONE, TWELFTH NIGHT.) Some of them I love because I’ve got my own ideas for them. (HENRY IV, PART ONE, KING LEAR, ROMEO & JULIET, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, MACBETH, TEMPEST, HAMLET, LOVE’S LABOURS LOST.) PERICLES and A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM literally turn me on. (I’m sure you didn’t want to know that.) Others simply fascinate me because of the connections between them. (KING LEAR and CYMBELINE, for example). There are many I just like a lot (OTHELLO, for example). Others that I find problematic (TAMING OF THE SHREW, A MERCHANT OF VENICE). Others I’ve never seen and can’t imagine how they’d work (TIMON OF ATHENS). Sorry, I just can’t decide.
