what's the most difficult right foot you've placed after your left
Troilus and Cressida really brings the language to another level, although I also think it's one of his most beautifully written plays for its density of style. Honestly, however, I don't think any of them could be called the hardest, or any one of them exceptionally stands out for difficulty.
love's labour's lost
Oh yeah, that's a good one too for difficulty of language, I was gonna put it with Troilus and Cressida but wasn't sure if my memory was perfect. Like T&C, however, it's also one of his most beautifully written plays, perhaps even better. Definitely very Joycean, with the most wordplay and focus on poetry and vocabulary.
guys, he said Joycean
the cold cruel realities that force apart the young lovers Romeo and Juliet are very kafkaesque
my butthole is platonic
Literally never heard of it neat
What are the best plays other than Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth?
Henry V, Titus Andronicus, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, The Winter's Tale
practically all of them are memorable if you see a good enough production
>Titus Andronicus
Huh I heard this one was bad though
If you turn your brain on but only half way on to where you take it as a commentary on violence and the cycle of revenge it's okay
Came to post this.
For me the LEAST Shakespearean of the plays (the ones that require most patience) are Timon and Pericles. The latter performs well, however.
and if you turn your brain on all the way?
Should his histories be read in a particular order? There's soon going to be a new production of Richard III in my city but I haven't delved into this part of his oeuvre at all.
>Titus Andronicus

I mean, it's fun and interesting to compare to Hamlet, to see how his style developed, but you really can't call it good.
Tbh most of them are worth reading. Open a random page of his collected works and you'll see a famous quote. Just pick one and go for it, in the end you'll read all of them, sooner or later.
about 10 years:
3.2 The Taming of the Shrew (1590–1591)
3.3 Henry VI, Part 2 (1591)
3.4 Henry VI, Part 3 (1591)
3.5 Henry VI, Part 1 (1591–1592)
3.6 Titus Andronicus (1591–1592)
3.7 Richard III (1592–1593)
3.8 Edward III (1592–1593)
3.9 The Comedy of Errors (1594)
3.10 Love's Labour's Lost (1594–1595)
3.11 Love's Labour's Won (1595–1596)
3.12 Richard II (1595)
3.13 Romeo and Juliet (1595)
3.14 A Midsummer Night's Dream (1595)
3.15 King John (1596)
3.16 The Merchant of Venice (1596–1597)
3.17 Henry IV, Part 1 (1596–1597)
3.18 The Merry Wives of Windsor (1597)
3.19 Henry IV, Part 2 (1597–1598)
3.20 Much Ado About Nothing (1598–1599)
3.21 Henry V (1599)
3.22 Julius Caesar (1599)
3.23 As You Like It (1599–1600)
3.24 Hamlet (1599–1601)
pretty impressive
Coriolanus is the most rewarding
It's still not that good and probably just a play to please the idiotic, violence-loving masses
Love's Labours Won is literally impossible to read
Much Ado About Nothing, I imagine it hard to get the banter right
That boob is killing me
Just watched the Ralph Fiennes adaptation today, definitely going to pick up a copy

I'm neither of those fellows, but what a little four minute treat. Saw that film in hs, will have to revisit it soon. Peter Shaffer (who wrote both play and screenplay) is also responsible for the modernist haut lit play Equus.
The film adaptation is pretty darn good, and quite faithful to the text.
>and quite faithful to the text.
what % faithful? Shouldnt be less than 90% Realistically should not be less than 100
Except when it gives guns to everyone and turns Tamora's sons into punks playing arcade games.
It's good, though.
I'm pretty sure the entire original text is used.
