R&J a clear and unsurprising winner. Pretty even spread between popular tragedies and comedies...histories don't rate a mention.
I think Hamlet ranks surprisingly low, given that unlike many others, the story is pretty clear as to what is going on. Midsummer is overrated, in my opinion.
What play does 'Something else' refer to, I wonder...given that it was so popular? Or did respondents think that option meant 'send them to something else rather than Shakespeare'..?
