What was the title of queen favourite play?

It's impossible to say definitively which play was Queen Elizabeth I's "favourite" without a time machine!

However, we can look at some of the plays known to have been performed at court during her reign and make some educated guesses. Here are a few possibilities:

* "The Spanish Tragedy" by Thomas Kyd: This play was incredibly popular during Elizabeth's reign, and the Queen herself was known to enjoy revenge tragedies.

* "The Jew of Malta" by Christopher Marlowe: Another popular play of the era, this one also touches on themes of revenge and intrigue.

* "The Shoemaker's Holiday" by Thomas Dekker: This comedy was a hit at court, likely appealing to the Queen's sense of humor.

* "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe: This play explored complex themes of ambition and morality, which may have appealed to the Queen's intellectual side.

Ultimately, there is no way to know for sure what Queen Elizabeth's favorite play was. However, these are some of the plays most likely to have been performed at court during her reign.
