All the love for the new Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet returning, and the fact I'm studying Othello in English class, my interest in the Bard has been renewed. Which Shakespeare play do you think should play next in a Broadway theater? Or do you think that Shakespeare should stay in London, with only RSC performing it?
Personally, I'd love to see Titus Andronicus, with a dark director at the helm.
indicates that the Globe's TWELFTH NIGHT/RICHARD III starring Mark Rylance will play Broadway sometime after he's done directing MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING at the Old Vic in September
Bring Gregory Doran over to do something...anything...
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I would love to see Rylance's Twelfth Night/Richard III transfer- I spent a week in London last fall, and got there just as the Globe finished their season, so I missed what apparently was an incredible production.
I'd also love to see a production of Titus Andronicus anywhere, largely just because I really love that play.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
The Winter's Tale. The last time it was on Broadway was 1946. with Jessie Royce Landis as Hermione, Henry Daniell as Leontes and Jo Van Fleet as Dorcas.
I would love to see a Tennant and Tate Taming of the Shrew.
If they wanted to hardcore and do a BBC all-star Twelfth Night, think of this cast:
Viola: Catherine Tate Orsino: David Tennant Olivia: Billie Piper Sebastian: Andrew Scott Malvolio: Benedict Cumberbatch Sir Toby: Rich Fulcher Sir Andrew: Matt Berry Maria: Una Stubbs Feste: Richard Aoyade
I vote Othello, I think this is one of my favorite Shakespeare shows I have ever seen, and I have seen it a few times. Another good one would be Much Ado About Nothing. Another one of my favorites!
