I do love Shakespeare. Fell in love with him when I was a Senior in high school, but then I loved literature. But for middle or high schoolers who are reading him for the first time, and who may not be very good readers, it helps to kinda know the story in order to make it through the iambic pentameter.
Maybe... my group never had trouble, except the silly girls who wanted to go over every potentially naughty word. Mom kept them in line, though. Her Shakespeare class was the most popular one for high schoolers at our coop.
So is this a good "guns, drugs and orgies" cult, or a boring cult like Corin had?
