Shakespeare - crap or great?

Reread Much Ado About Nothing over the last week. Was like coming back to an old friend

I tend to agree that, unless seen performed, the plays are pretty heavy going.

But a good performance is a delight. Sure you need to think a bit to follow the words, but some people are prepared to persevere for The Wire!
