I took a course dedicated to Shakespeare’s plays in college. Professor Nelick stood
up the first day and told us that we were all wasting our time and that he was wasting his time trying to teach us. He said we would not appreciate Shakespeare until we were 40 and older. He was right.
I think that ceased to be strictly true with Kenneth Branaugh.
Branaugh (for all of his personal failings) produced accessible Shakespear.
Try showing his version of Henry V to twenty year olds.
