I was "Peter Quince" in "Midsummer Night's Dream" in college.
Always wanted to play the lead in the Scottish play...
When (at homeschool co-op) we did Shakespeare, I always tried to read the roles of Katherine in "Taming of the Shrew" or Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing". If there wasn't a female part, I'd want a male role with good lines, like Mercutio in "Romeo and Juliet".
We read the Scottish play one semester. Lady M. was fun, too.
