Question: What's the most challenging classic role to play for a young actor!?

Ha!. Yup!. I played Macbeth once at Uni and that was the hardest thing I've ever done!. Much tougher than playing football!

Some of the lines are great but some are almost impossible to remember!. And the soliloquies (spelling!?) were terrible to remember!.

Macbeth does the full range of emotions and is a total nutcase (so when I forgot my lines I went into loony ranting impro mode - that worked really well!!)

Hamlet would be scary - he's more of a brooding miserable sob!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would go with Hamlet, the lines in that are weird man!.
its all like, gibberish stuff, i can't understandf what it's all about, sooooo boring!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd say that Romeo, Juliet, and Hamlet are probably pretty much the hardest!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
