SparkNotes has a "translated" version of each play [0] that is more accessible for the modern reader. Yes, purists will tell you that you're missing out on Shakespeare's flowery and playful use of language but you also spend a much smaller fraction of the time parsing through the text than you otherwise would. Also, the original text is right next to the translated version so you can just look over if you want to compare.
