[Margaret Pilkington]

Once you mess about with it, it really ceases to be Shakespeare......and I stand by the comment that someone who has a love of the Bard can instil enthusiasm into children, by demonstrating their own enthusiasm.
I went to a very lowly secondary modern school, we did Shakespeare and I loved it...we even went to the theatre to see if performed and I thought it was magical.
It isn't really any different to Harry Potter...imagine the furore if someone messed about with that.
