My first Shakespeare experience was in Minnesota in the late seventies. I watched the BBC production of Pericles on a little black and white TV in the kitchen. I was thrilled that I understood the language.

My first experience was probably the the 1935 movie production of Midsummer Night’s Dream that I saw on TV when I was a child in the 50s. I didn’t understand most of it but it was magical. Next was through the backdoor – Romeo and Juliet by way of West Side Story when I was an early teen. And then, in 10th grade, we took the conspirators to court after we read Julius Caesar (1964) and I was hooked. Now we regularly go the Ashland, OR for the plays and I always make sure we see the Shakespeare.
