Usually, it's the one I saw/read most recently...
If I had to choose one, it would probably be "Othello." It's the most streamlined of the major tragedies -- no sub-plots -- and it has an amazing momentum about it. And, with all due respect to an earlier respondent, Richard III was merely Shakespeare's "warm-up" for the character of Iago, whose (essentially) motiveless villainy makes him just about the baddest Bad Guy in the history of dramatic literature. A great deal of critical ink has been spilled in an effort to figure out WHY Iago does what he does. But, Shakespeare pretty much answers the question for us. When Iago is asked, in essence, "Why'd you do it?" his response is: "Demand me nothing. What you know, you know. From this time forth, I never will speak word." In other words: I'm not TELLING you why I did it. Which makes it possible, of course, for every reader and/or audience member to arrive at their own answer.
