Shakespeare is one of the necessities of a good, well-rounded education. I (Greg) remember my first introduction to Shakespeare in my tenth grade English class with Mrs. Duncan. I remember the general consensus of the class being one of dread when Mrs. Duncan told us we were going to study the classic English dramatist. Shakespeare???! Oh no!!! So we began reading Macbeth and, much to my surprise, I completely got into the play. I can say that I was absolutely riveted by the unfolding action of the play and enchanted by Shakespeare's deft and clever use of language. You don't realize how dumbed down our language is until you've read the Master! So Zack and Max now have the chance to experience the wonderful world of William Shakespeare. They're starting with the Twelfth Night, a hilarious comedy of mistaken identities. Later they will read the play that so enthralled their father - who hopes they will be as enthralled by it as he was.
