Macbeth. If you've never studied any Shakespeare before, start with Macbeth. It's short, it's easy, it's spooky. It's a compelling read. The reason it is considered the "unlucky" play is that theatre companies used to put it on when business was bad, because they could guarantee a sell out show with Macbeth.
