1. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" In response to In response to 0 Mon Sep-26-05 06:12 PM by Frank Longo
The first Shakespeare play I was ever truly familiar with (aside from Romeo and Juliet). I did this play in 10th grade; I was Demetrius.
This is probably my favorite comedy. Not his best, but my favorite. There really isn't much in theatre, Shakespearean or contemporary, funnier than the mechanicals' play at the end.
Side note: the film with Kevin Kline is REALLY not good. However, there's apparently some B+W film with James Cagney as Bottom (!!!!) that exists. I've never seen it though.
