| Hamlet is quite good but I cut my teeth on Macbeth and am still partial to it. The one thing I truly enjoy about both of these plays is the element of madness. Both have central characters that go insane from personal loss. It provides a stunning insight into the inner workings of Shakespeare's own mind which I relish.
