Title: Suggest me some dramas/plays!
Post by: P.P.A. on October 04, 2009, 05:34:05 am
In an unprecedented step (well not entirely, I'll admit to once in a while playing TF2 with a British friend of mine solely for fun...) I have decided that I shall spend some of the lot of time that will come into my possession in the nearing autumn break to *gasp* nothing but the entertainment and enjoyment of myself fulfilling no other purpose!
Since I liked reading Schiller's Don Karlos, Infant von Spanien for school this much, I plan to purchase and read 2 (or 4 depending on how you put it) more dramas of his, Kabale und Liebe and his Wallenstein trilogy.
However, since I would like to further familiarise myself with the English language I would also be curious to read one or two English dramas. I already did so with Romeo and Juliet, can anyone suggest any other good ones?

As cliche as it is, I'd suggest moar Shakespeare.  Though, go with a comedy or two (A Midsummer Night's Dream or The Tempest are pro).  Not sure myself about anything more recent or relevant....

Nicht all zu bekannt, aber mir gefiel The Scarlet Letter von Nathaniel Hawthrone sehr gut.

Hm, das hört sich recht gut an... Ich werde es mir zulegen wenn ich es finde.

I'd also suggest some shakespeare. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is my personal favorite. Macbeth is also good.

Macbeth.  That is all.

On the one hand, Macbeth is one of the highest quality pieces of writing ever written in the English language.  On the other, it's extremely depressing.  Your call.

The Tempest is pretty cool.
King Lear is okay I guess but also really depressing.

Unfortunately I'm a Philistine so that's all I can suggest.
