Okay - this is a really good recording but it was very hard to follow the dialog because I couldn't always tell who was speaking. I would listen to this series while reading the plays...

i get that it's a classic, but it's not my fav shakespeare play. it's just so frustrating to follow these teens with no common sense, but i get that that's the point.

I read Romeo and Juliet in Grade 10 and hated it... teaching Romeo and Juliet is a different story. Especially when I can point out how immature these characters are being and create interesting discussion. It also helped that I understood SO much more (putting that English degree to good use lol)!
