There are many positive reasons to introduce children to
Shakespeare. His plays are the most performed in the world; plus it
introduces children to history, English, poetry, drama, comedy, not to
mention all those famous quotes. Using a fun combination of rhyme, live
action and computer graphics, this program gives children a jumpstart into
the world of the playwright, introducing them to four of his most famous
plays, Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Night's
Dream. They learn about each play's plot, its central characters and
themes, and then are encouraged to read the featured play to find out how it
ends. Here, of course, is where adults may assist young readers, be it by
reading with them, or attending a play or watching a movie of the play.
