Thread Name: Is it me or is Shakespeare very strange
Subject: RE: BS: Is it me or is Shakspeare very strange..
I introduced my Mom to Shakespeare after she saw "Shakespear in Love" by reading out loud parts of Twelfth Night -- she was intrigued and so I got her an audio CD (As You Like It, as it turned out). Boy is she hooked now! As a Ren Faire fan, it was inevitable. They should never make kids read this in school, because it's such an aural experience, even more so than other plays.

Of course, if they had them read it out loud, the kids would probably understand all the sex stuff faster than the uptight censors.
