Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: But Othello and As You Like It weren't interesting

All you need to do is see a good production. There is nothing worse than badly performed Shakespeare. Good performances make you forget the difficult language and concentrate on the story.

I love Othello!!!

If you can understand the manipulative Iago and follow him as he leads Othello down the path to self-destruction...you might appreciate it more. Othello, the Moor, was too naive to understand his greatest enemies were his friend, Iago, and his social insecurities due to being a Moor in a prejudiced, class-structured European city.

darling if you think any shakespeare is boring, then you need to see the Complear Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged)
they do othello as a rap song...

The Othello Rap
By The Reduced Shakespeare Company
Here's the story of a brother by the name of Othello.
He liked white women and he liked green Jell-O.
And a punk named Iago who made himself a menace
Because he didn't like Othello, the Moor of Venice.

Now Othello got married to a chick named Desdemona.
But he went off to the wars and he left her all alona.
It was a mona--
A groana--
He left her alona.
He didn't write a letter and didn't telefona.

Desdemona she was fearful, she was chastity-tight.
She was the daughter of the Duke. Yeah, she was totally white.
Now Othello loved Desi like Adonis loved Venus.
And Desi loved Othello, 'cuz he had a big... sword.

Iago said, I'm gonna shaft the Moor.
How're you gonna do it? Tell us.
Well, I know his tragic flaw: He's too damn jealous.
I need a dupe, I need a dope, I need a kind of a schmo.
So he found himself a chump sucker by the name of Cassio.

So he plants on him, Desdemona's handkerchief.
So Othello starts to wondering just maybe if
while he's been out fighting, Commanding an army.
Desi and Cass were playing hide the salami.

Salami, salami, s-s-salami.

So he comes back home and stuck a pillow on her face.
Kills her very slowly, it was a total disgrace.
But there's Amelia at the do who we met in Act fo.
Who says, "You big dummy. She weren't no ho."

She was pure, she was clean, virginal too.
So why'd you have to go and make her face turn blue?
It's true.
It's you.
Now what you gonna do?

And Othello says, Damn, this is getting pretty scary.
So he pulled out a blade and committed hara-kiri.

Do that funky Moor thing, white boy.

Iago got caught but he probably copped a plea.
Loaded up his bags
And moved to Beverly.
Hills, that is.

Sorry, I can't agree there. Othello was my favourite play.

I liked Othello, but then I like most of Shakespeare's plays, particularly the tragedies and histories. The Merchant of Venice is one of my favorites, as well as Hamlet and King Lear.
