Longest Shakespeare PlayHamlet is the longest play in Shakespeare. When the lines from the various versions are cobbled together into one play, it runs for about four hours (see Ken Branagh's "uncut" version to see what that looks like)

Answer 2

Hamlet (4024 Lines); Coriolanus (3824 lines); Cymbeline (3753 lines); Richard III (3718); Antony and Cleopatra (3573); Othello (3560); Lear (3499); Troilus and Cressida (3486); Winter's Tale (3362)

Answer 3

If you conflate the two major texts of the play Hamlet that have been passed down to us, you end up with a play longer than any other Shakespeare wrote. If you don't conflate the texts, Richard III is the longest.
