People that would mainly go to see Shakespearean plays are typically interested in Shakespeare's works, and theatre in general. However, this includes a broad segment of the population who enjoy being entertained. To suggest that people who want to major in theater, want to become an expert on Shakespeare, etc. should see these plays suggests that it is a painful experience to watch a Shakespeare play. In fact, the reverse is usually the case--most Shakespeare productions are fun, entertaining and enjoyable for everyone, as they were always intended to be.

What were you to find if you were to look through Shakespeare's first folio?
