Lear > Hamlet

I dont like 'rating' artists but if you want one I think he's in a trifecta with Sophocles and Aeschylus as the great Western dramatists. Don't know much about Oriental drama.

Best play is King Lear. Worst, for me at least, are the Henry VI plays - what a fucking snore fest.

Euripides was the best Greek dramatist m8.
