We find <a href="http://www.shakespeareindelawarepark.org/" rel="nofollow">this</a> to be one of the best ways to enjoy the Bard. A bottle of wine, some pizza and wings, and you can bring your kids and no one minds when the young ones get antsy 'cause you can take them to the playground. Adios,

You are exactly right on Shakespeare.

It is much more difficult to understand his plays in written form than to see them performed. Sure there is that uncomfortable five minutes at the beginning where you think, "Sheesh, I'm never gonna get this." But then your ears ajust and you remember why Shakespeare is King. Live is best, but the BBC or Kenneth Branaugh have enough of the Bard on celuloid for students to get the cadence of his words and grasp internal stage direction. Do the movie first, and "Take this from this if this be otherwise." Shakespeare, funny you should mention Shakespere, he is just the kind of writer to whom technology helps best.
