DESCRIPTION:
Makes the plays totally accessible to the modern audience members. The entire series is brilliant. Wish these had been around w. Good Old Freddie Read this the day before seeing the play and you'll increase your enjoyment 200%. I was a high school teacher of English Lit and wish these had been available at that time. Would have helped my students immensely to get past the language barrier and understand the story and the characters' motivations and then we could re-read each scene and enjoy Shakespeare's poetic command of the language..

Excerpt: Would not a pair of these have bred, sir? Vio. Vio. Clo. My niece is desirous you should enter, if your trade be to her. pg 41 Vio. Vio. This fellow's wise enough to play the fool; And to do that well, craves a kind of wit: He must observe their mood on whom he jests, The quality of persons, and the time; And, like the haggard, check at every feather That comes before his eye.
