I would love to play Desdemona, though I'm sure I will never get to -- she is probably the best example in Shakespeare of a female adult character who is both genuinely good but also very human in a warm sort of way (like, Cordelia is also both good and human but she is much pricklier, because she's Lear's daughter and all three of his daughters take after him).

I did get to do the "Willow" scene in two different Shakespeare classes, though, because Dr. M asked me to do it on the grounds that I was willing to sing a capella in class. It's just absolutely amazing even in that kind of context.
