A few bits: 1) I think only a few of his plays are really at the level for high-schoolers, so you're not entirely wrong. 2) When I was a private tutor, I had a methodology for teaching these plays, which was a little vocabulary first for a scene, then reading it out loud. It has to be out loud. I usually had extra copies and you bet I would grab a parent and have them do a third part. I would read in meter and with the appropriate tone, do all of facial expressions, mime any relevant action, and generally ham it up. I would typically pick the most difficult part. After each scene, we'd talk about it, the culture and history of the time, and so forth. You are not to blame for not getting into it, it's just on the edge of high school appropriate and tends to be taught poorly.
