What are Shakespeare’s best plays? Also additional question what playwrights are on par or even potentially better than him?

I love wag but he’s not even close, not even in the same ballpark as Shakespeare, not even in the same league, not even the same sport.

Haven't seen tempest or all of it, but I don't remember being the biggest fan of midsummer night dream, I watched the version from like 30s or 40s with James Cagney as I think Puck. I dont know if it had any lines cut or was the pure text all the way through. It was fun and entertaining, especially with some of the video effects.

I think I might rate king Lear and Julius Caesar above it however, if I even did see the whole play
