Don't forget the recent movie version of A Midsummer's Night Dream with
Stanley Tucci as Puck. That was my kids' first Shakespeare and they love it.
We also read a couple of fabulous picture books put together by Bruce
Coville. One was Midsummer's Night Dream and the other was Romeo and Juliet.
They're all Shakespeare's words, just abridged and with beautiful
illustrations.
Life is good.

When I was an English major in college my first Shakespeare test was a big
bomb. A friend made flashcards for me. Still, it wasn't working. I
discovered that the library had plays recorded. They were on record albums,
and you would put in a request, sit at a desk with headphones, and a library
aide would turn the records over.
That was in the days before videotape was common.
So I would read along as Richard Burton and other Shakespearean actors read
the plays, sometimes with sound effects like wind blowing, footsteps, doors
closing... And THEN it made sense.
Nowadays video makes it WONDERFULLY accessible to kids, and unlike going to a
play, paying money and being expected to sit still, they can pause and go
play, come back, play some more, re-wind the good parts...

No, I don't even try.
I can look something up for clarification, or follow along, but if I get to
reading I miss the cues about who's in the room, who's talking AND there are
few to no clues in the text about how or why things are as they are. Much of
the staging is traditional, passed from performance to performance, performer
to performer. It's discussed in college literature classes, and nowadays you
can read such stuff on the internet, but Shakespeare just in black and white
in a book is not just like a dead bug on a pin for me, but like a really old,
dried out dead bug.
And before someone says I just need to understand it better, I think I DO.
The language doesn't scare me, as I learned to read from the King James Bible
way more than from Dick&Jane stuff, and I took not the required one, but
three Shakespeare classes in college and a 17th century literature class so
I'd know who the heck Marlowe and Jonson were. But reading them out of the
book is drudgery and like reading through mud for me.
Watching live performances or video, though, THAT is clear life.

Cool post Sandra.
I love Shakespeare, also studied Shakeskpeare and have an English degree,,blah, blah, blah,<g> anyway,
We have been watching different Shakespeare movies also, with my 8 year old daughter. She loves them. Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo and Juliet, a bit of Henry V (a bit slow for her) Shakepeare In Love...
Some people have been quite surprised that a kid would enjoy it, and I respond, " but some of them are funny! And most are really interesting!" They usually look at me like I'm insane or something.
A few weeks ago we went to Twelfth Night, me, my dd(8) and my dd(6). It was a really good performance, really fun. Abbi (8) liked it so much she went again with her dad, Kyra(6) fell asleep during the second half, but enjoyed what she saw.
The following week I was talking with a regular in the theater circles and saying that we had gone to the play. She gets all excited, "Oh, oh, you must have been the one with the two little girls! Joe(an actor) saw kids in the audience and couldn't believe it. And then he thought he saw them again!" "Yep" I said.
Joe couldn't believe that a child would actually enjoy Shakespeare! I kept on saying that there is alot of humor and fast paced action for them.
We're trying to get the playhouse to do a Shakepeare play with kids, but this Joe is the person who would direct and he doesn't think kids would get into it. Everytime I see him I say, when are we going to do it, huh? huh? Trying to convince him that with the right explanation and attention, most people can enjoy Shakespeare!
On the same vein, I'm excited because I just picked up Midsummer Night's Dream on dvd for $5.99! We'll be watching it on the way to Columbia!

Holly and neighbor girl when they were five and six sat down to watch part of
Twelfth Night with me once when I was sewing, and had set up in front of the
TV to watch that. I wound it back so they could see the shipwreck, and I was
telling them what was happening. I figured they'd say "Okay, see ya" in a
bit, but they stayed for MOST of it!
I was surprised.
When we first got Romeo+Juliet, the recent one with Leonardo di Caprio, Kirby
was 12, I think, and watched it all the way through. I had suggested a break
until the next day, but without even looking at me he said, "NO, leave it
on." He wanted to see the rest. And that one is a long version, too.
We have Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, which is WONDERFUL, but not
readily available, and not yet on DVD. That has been fantastic for kids here.
It's not Shakespeare, and yet it totally is. (It's by the same guy who
wrote Shakespeare in Love.)

I have not seen Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, cannot find it, but I'm not on Netflix. Dang, another reason I should subscribe! It sounds really good, and we loved Shakespeare in Love.

I really loved this movie. It healed alot of my PS (12th grade English)
wounds about Shakespeare. I still watch it when I am in the mood. My
daughter (12) has watched it more than once with me, she enjoys it almost as
much as I do. She has even recommended it to her friends. My 9yo son likes
parts of it, like the gun fight in the beginning. He likes "fighting with
style". He is always trying out new "moves"...."Hey Mom!, check out my new
moves"....very entertaining!

a copy from my library system, which sucked it in from another branch.

Methinks this is not an aboveboard production!
Yet... the people who own it should have put it out. There must be some
legal wrangling somewhere. I've heard Disney owns it, and that can be bad news as
to scheduled releases. And they might not still own it, who knows.
Very interesting. Thanks!
El Cid, which I would also love to see on DVD, was released in Europe some
years back, and it sold out and went out of print. But it only shows on
European DVD player settings.
If those are bootlegs, I don't guess Netflix will be able to rent them; I
don't know.
Amazon still says this:

Amazon.co.uk also has Rosencrantz and Guildenster on DVD, coded for Region 0
and so able to be played in the US, as long as your DVD player and TV will
both play PAL format (it seems that newer ones do, but I can't swear to
that). Even with shipping, it's less than $30.

Why conform without a fuss?
Daddy, daddy no!
I don't wanna go to school!
I don't need to read Billy Shakespeare
Meet Juliet or Malvolio
Feel for once what it's like to rebel now
I wanna break out lets go
Teachers treat us all like clones
"Sit up straight, take off your headphones"
I dont blame them
They get paid
Money, money whoo!
Lotsa money, money whoo!
I don't need to read Billy Shakespeare
Meet Juliet or Malvolio
Feel for once what it's like to rebel now
I wanna break out lets go
Get out, get out, get out, get out whoo!
Get out, get out, get out, get out whoo!
To skip or not to skip, that is the question
Get out, get out, get out, get out whoo!
Get out, get out, get out, get out
Get out, get out, get out, get out
Get out, get out, get out, get out

It's a really wonderful comedy routine by a group called "The Abridged
Shakespeare Company."
You can rent it from Netflix or order it from Amazon.
I would tell you more, but it would spoil the surprises. If you get it,
watch the bonus stuff too.

of Hamlet, I believe. Oh, it was so long ago I don't really remember. I
think the title was "Twelve Minute Shakespeare"; it covered the entire play
in just a few minutes. Talk about abridged! It was hillarious.
Has anyone else ever seen this and know what it's really called or if it's
available anywhere?

DOH!
Sorry.
Yeah, I saw them before they parked permanently in London.
I think there's still a travelling group.
Sorry for the error!

You get scripts that are made so that you can utilize different numbers
of actors and instructions how to divide up the parts depending on how
many people you have. You get director notes and each character gets a
set of notes. There are some prop items included and, for others, you
just scrounge from things you have around the house.
