Macbeth, by a gnat's whisker. In a more cheerful frame of mind I'd probably go for Midsummer Night's Dream; I also love The Tempest, a bit of a glaring omission from this list.

I've got my doubts about how much to contribute
to the already rich among us...'

I voted for Othello. Iago is such a great villain; I always loved Ian Mckellen portrayal of him.

A vote for King Lear !
 
I find that his tragic flaw is that he is tired and wants to retire and enjoy the love of his daughters. This is very human and understandable and therefore the tragedy that happens is much sader.

Richard III, I like Shakey's Histories better than his other stuff.

I've read or seen:

Julius Caesar
Macbeth
Romeo and Juliet
Midsummer Night's Dream

The in the round version of MacBeth with Ian McKellen and Judie Dench is amazing, and the Shakespeare in the Park version of Midsummer Night's Dream was wonderful and magical. William Hurt was God as Oberon.

Out of these, I'll vote for Macbeth.

Only read the plays of Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant Of Venice, haven't seen any productions of them though. The Merchant Of Venice is definitely my favourite from those 3, though. No vote.

Can't help myself - gotta go with Twelfth Night, or What You Will. Approve

Second best would probably be the Hamlet, then Romeo and Juliet. I know Macbeth and Midsummer Murders, but I'm not familiar with the others listed in the poll.
Percussion, sir!
