Do you like Shakespeare?

St. Widge said

I don't like reading it but I do like when the plays are performed or when the stories are made into movies. And, honestly, that's how they were meant to be enjoyed. They were written to be performed, not to be read. If you can read them and enjoy them, more power to you. But, I think the stories are only fully realized when they are performed.

Absolutely. I have taught my fair share of high school Shakespeare and it really is meant to be performed/observed.

After students at least got one hand on the wheel with the language & rhythm, we’d try and walk through it/perform it as much as possible.

We were never able to get a trip to a theatre for them to watch a stage performance, but I would show them movies, which they enjoyed.

The language mixed with a good performance is incredibly captivating.
