The Top 10: My Shakespeare
During my trip to NYC, I contemplated which Shakespearean roles I would most want to play. This is assuming I could actually not butcher iambic pentameter. Here's the top 10, in rough order:
- Portia (Merchant of Venice- hands down, the absolute best role Will ever wrote for women...even though women didn't originally play her)
- Puck (Midsummer Night's Dream)
- Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing)
- Rosalind (As You Like It)
- Kate (Taming of the Shrew)
- Iago (Othello- wouldn't that be fascinating?)
- Lady Macbeth (Macbeth)
- Nurse (Romeo and Juliet)
- Olivia (Twelfth Night)
- Tamora (Titus Andronicus-- maybe? Not sure about that one...but maybe...)
