I had a very bad first experience of Shakespeare at school, and, now I'm determined to put that wrong right and just make Shakespeare as vivid and live as possible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have grown up loving Shakespeare.
I had always wanted to retell a Shakespeare play. It was an ambition from college days. But in order to be able to do it... the circumstances in my life didn't come together for a long time.
Well, as a kid I did not get Shakespeare. I just never understood it.
I fell in love with Shakespeare when I was 12, and I read the whole works. Yes, I was precocious.
I studied Shakespeare all through high school. Both of my parents teach English and history, so it has always been around my experience as a young man.
At his heart, Shakespeare was a YA author. So many of his plays are set with high school-aged characters. He understood the passion, the confusion and drama that marks that life stage.
Shakespeare feels very natural to me.
I read Shakespeare when I was 14 because it's what we were taught.
I've been with Shakespeare all my life.
You learn from mistakes, but Shakespeare is one big non mistake isn't he? He just got everything right really.
