When I was in junior high school, my parents got me a record collection (remember records?) called "Living Shakespeare". As I recall, they were abridged versions of the plays, read by good Shakespearean actors, with printed scripts so you could follow along. I loved them! Of course, when I tried to tell my 7th grade classmates about how great Shakespeare was, it was one more nail in the coffin of my (nonexistent) popularity. But such is life...
