Best Answer

The materials which Shakespeare wrote for publication, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, are sexually explicit and not suitable for younger readers. His plays are intended to be watched, not read. Although the plays also deal with themes which are more suitable for adult viewers (murder, madness, adultery, rape, etc.), the sexual content is not usually portrayed in performance, but can be found in the dialogue.

Bright six-year-olds can follow enough of the dialogue to understand the general flow of the plays when watching them, and to enjoy them. Comedies such as As You Like It, Twelfth Night, The Taming of the Shrew, The Merry Wives of Windsor and Midsummer Night's Dream, and most of the histories can usually be watched and enjoyed by those under 14. Exposure to Shakespeare at this young age when the brain is more tolerant of different sounding language can make it much easier to study the plays later in life.
