A play. Shakespeare's plays are intended to be performed on stage, and that makes them plays. The fact that the characters speak in poetry a lot of the time is not significant.

There are dialogues, often in poetry but also in prose which are written and are not intended to be performed on stage. These are sometimes called poetic dialogues, or, if they really strongly resemble play form, closet dramas.
