RE: Henrik Ibsen Vs Shakespeare
Like most, I'm not as well versed on Henrik as I am Bill. Dollhouse, Ghost and one more I can't remember are the ones I'm familiar with..
Personally, I think Bill is overrated. That said, Troilus & Cressida is one of my favorite plays.

Ghost is so epic. Says so much with so little. Love the themes behind the mother's views VS the priest's and how they represent a dichotomy shift in society in general. The Priest flipping out about the insurance policy was awesome.
I am going to guess the 3rd Ibsen play is "Pillars of Society"? Also epic. And possibly my favorite play ever. "Doll's House" is alright, not really my thing.

RE: Henrik Ibsen Vs Shakespeare
Shakespeare plays:
I love Henry the 4th Part 1. My Shakespeare professor did it so much justice and then some.
Really, really like Hamlet, Macbeth, R And J, King Lear and Othello (IMO his best on a pure talent standpoint) - "the beast with two backs" - LMAO
I though Merchant of Venice was "eh" and As You Like It was really, really well written for a pastoral comedy.
At some point I want to read "Tempest", "Tony and Cleo", "Titus", and maybe Julious Cesar. And of course Henry the 4th Part 2 after I reread Part 1 yet again.
