The easiest Shakespearean play to read is one which you have already seen performed on stage or screen. This is because, first, learning to read a playscript successfully means being able to imagine what the people are doing, how they look, how they move and so on while they say the lines in the play. Shakespeare's plays have very little in the way of stage direction, which means that they can be played in a number of ways--their flexibility is why they are still fresh and new after 400 years of performance. However, that makes them hard to read for people used to reading novels. A little practice is required, so for the first time it helps having an image in your mind already. The second reason is that the language, often in blank verse and complex sentences and peppered with unfamiliar words and expressions, can be a bit daunting when you first run into it. (Actually young children under the age of 10 whose brains are open for language learning learn to comprehend Shakespeare's use of English much faster than anyone else.) It helps to see someone say Shakespeare's words with gestures and facial expressions which help make the meaning clear.
I think that the plays which are the most accessible are those which Shakespeare wrote more or less between 1594 and 1598, especially Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It or Henry V.

How long did it take for shakespearean actors to memorize a script?
This question is very difficult to answer with any degree of accuracy. Consider just a few of the indeterminate variables which need to be considered in order to find an average length of time for "shakespearean [sic] actors to memorize the script". How many actors? Can the actors read? How quickly can the actors read? Do any of the actors who are capable of reading have a photographic memory? If the actors can't read, when can someone help with memorization? How many lines need to be memorized? Is the language in which the script is written the actors' first language? If not, how fluent are they in the language of the script? Is the memorization process delayed because the actors have to wait for changes or new pages from the playwright?
