I was groaning to myself over Dean who apparently is yet another Shakespeare lover



A great fan, yes, but not a scholar by any means. I only know the plays I've been in or directed (amateur actor, among other things). And I would be the last person to recommend returning to Elizabethan English and the free-for-all spelling that went with it! However, I did read that the Royal Shakespeare Company was in the process of producing all of his works with Elizabethan pronunciation! Apparently it's understandable (for the most part) and a lot of the rhymes and puns make much more sense. Sure wish I was a jet-setter and could hop over to London to see a few shows. I'd be mesmerised!
