2. I like Shakespeare's comedies,
especially Much Ado About Nothing and The Taming of the Shrew.

If you don't know Hamlet, you'll be lost. Maybe "Hamlet/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"?

14. By far the best play ever written ...
It moves me to tears each time Lear is reunited with Cordelia ... "Do not laugh at me; For, as I am a man, I think this lady To be my child Cordelia." Then when he carries her dead body back on stage in Act 5 ... :cry: It is too much to bear.

18. Streetcar Named Desire, I think....
The reason I say "I think" is that I have never been able to watch it all the way through---it's WAY to upsetting. So, the way I figure, it has to be a damn good play.
