Favorite Shakespeare performance:

Comedy of Errors performed at the University of Anchorage Alaska, costume and set for a cast and planet in a galaxy far far away. Beat anything ol' Lucas ever dreamed up.

Next to Shakeseare the main concentrated influence on the English language by one Samuel Johnson and thridly in the mid Twentieth Century by The Goons, of whom we just lost Spike Milligan, but that's for another thread.
