Default Favorite William Shakespeare play?

What is your favorite William Shakespeare play? Mine would probably be Henry V.

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing." -Macbeth

"Now is the winter of our discontent.
Made glorious summer by this sun of York."
Richard III.

(More fondly referred to as, Richard the Turd, or Dick the $hit according to geographic location here in UK)

Ha! I'm a firm believer that RIII did not kill his nephews (I think he got them away to a safe haven in 1483). I think that usurping, regicide Henry VII did execute the younger Richard. As for the younger Edward, who knows? Maybe any kind of 15th century malady was his end.

Richard finished up under a car park in Leicestershire. Been there for centuries.
His parking ticket ran into £ thousands!

I have seen a number of his plays in Minneapolis, San Francisco, and at a festival of them in the Lake Tahoe area.
