 | "Hamlet" (Arden Shakespeare: Second Series) by William Shakespeare
Buy used from: £0.16 Without doubt his best play. Murder, incest, love and betrayal--what more could you want in a story? In my opinion, Arden editions are the best for students

|
 | "The Merchant of Venice" (Arden Shakespeare: Second Series) by William Shakespeare
Buy new: £7.42 / Used from: £4.41 The true origin of the "pound of flesh". One of Shakespeare's better "comedies" but with a darker underside

|

|
 | King Lear (Naxos Audio) by William Shakespeare
Buy new: £8.99 / Used from: £8.99 Someone once told me they could divide their live into "before I read Lear, and after I read Lear". Didn't have the same effect on me, but Brannagh and co read it well here
