I remember the first time I went to see Shakespeare as an adult. It is still the funniest play I've ever seen and I couldn't even really understand everything they were saying! But out of the 4 of us attending, 2 of us were enraptured, and the other 2 were bored and left for the pub in the interval. I wonder if you either connect with his word play, or you don't. A marmite thing. I doesn't help that the english language is different to how it was then. But I find what we did in school with Shakespeare to be ridiculous. It's the equivalent of trying to explain a joke.
