This if for the literary geeks among us, and the not so literary, and the ones with painful memories of it at school, and the ones who've only seen the films.

List your top five shakespeare plays, no particular order, and then your all-time hated one. You may *not* add a couple of sentences on why. Keep it as an ambiguous list. And it may be less than five if it's not your bag.

Favourites :
Henry V
Macbeth
Romeo and Juliet
Twelfth Night
Othello

Hated beyond all reason :
The Tempest.
