Plays are meant to be seen and heard. Shakespeare was never meant to be read silently on the page in a classroom. That's why there are so many students who find him difficult, dry and boring. All they see is a huge language barrier with many unfamiliar words and an unnatural (to us) sentence structure.
In order to really get Shakespeare, it's important to bring the characters and the story to life, to act them out, to give them flesh and blood. Once you get past the language, it's amazing how many of the characters and their stories are completely relevant to today.
