Courtney Hunt asked Courtney Hunt:

What is your favorite play by Shakespeare?

Courtney Hunt My undergraduate degree is in Renaissance and medieval literature so I took tons of Shakespeare classes in college. I think my all time favorite play is Hamlet because it's so rich--I get something new out of it every time I read it or see it performed.

I also always loved Midsummer Night's Dream (it's just too fun--and Puck is an amazing character) and Merchant of Venice. Love me some Portia!

I also liked the sonnets a lot--who are the Dark Lady and the Fair Youth? When The Pilot and I married, we had sonnet 116 read at our wedding ("Let me not to the marriage of true minds...")

FWIW, I do believe Shakespeare WAS Shakespeare--not Francis Bacon or whatever other trendy theory is being bandied about at the moment. Just my opinion ;-)
