Mom On the Alert

Another word about Shakespeare.

When I first started watching Shakespearian plays on television, they were usually BBC productions being broadcast on PBS. It took me a while to tune my ear to the cadence and the meter. Then one day, it occurred to me that the process might go faster if I took out a copy of the play and read along for a while. Within a few minutes, I could put the book down, follow along and then just get lost in the story.

Now, I no longer need to do any of that. There is only one adatation of a Shakespearian play I didn't like and wouldn't watch again.
