These days, most people come into contact with Shakespeare's plays through high school English courses. Therefore the plays which are more likely to be taught in such courses are the ones most likely to be known. The most likely candidates are Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Theatre companies are most likely to perform these plays because they are the ones schools will buy large blocks of tickets to. They are also the ones that members of the general public are most likely to know and to buy tickets to. As a result, the division between the well-known plays and the lesser-known plays becomes greater.
