I'm sure there is. ;) I'd start with one of the easy, fairly accessible ones -- A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet are both pretty easy reads. R&J was the first one I ever read. As You Like It is fairly accessible, too -- I know that one gets done in lots of middle schools, we did it in the 7th grade. My personal favourite play is Much Ado About Nothing, which I think is the wittiest and has the best love story overall. I would not start with Hamlet or Othello, or you'll want to stab your eyes out.

Get an edition with lots of footnotes -- those can really help if you find yourself tripping over unfamiliar words or weird phrases.
