Carl-E:
I've always been fond of A Midsummer Night's Dream. It's the original British Farce. mistaken identities, crossed lovers, and faeries, all running around in a forest. Not to mention the backwoods theatre troupe that tries to put on a high-minded romance, with completely slapstick results.
Oh yeah, and a man with the head of an ass.
I'm pretty sure Puck is the prototype for Pintsize... "Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
Skelepunk:
Hamlet and Macbeth are my favorite of all the plays. There was a very good Australian movie of Macbeth, only with guns and gangfights. It's much better than I've made it sound.

Damn it, nearly forgot the murder too.

And runs completly against the history on which it is "based". Macbeth was actually a fairly popular ruler who came to the throne because his predecessor was a war mongering fool who keep losing to a bunch of Vikings. Oh and he had these weird southern ideas about kingship passing through the male line to the son. All good Scotsmen know that it passes to whomever the council of thanes (leading families) selects.
Lupercal:
King Lear is also good but for morbid jealousy, Winter's Tale wins everytime.
But DUDES read Edward II by Christopher Marlowe because it is pretty awesome, a contemporary of Shakespeare and if you like sodomy with red hot pokers well, this will be your favourite piece of literature ever.
(I also enjoyed Jeph doing risque drawings again, I can tell he either sits there blushing or is like "damn, expression of the human body THROUGH a human body, I'm a genius")
