<<Why on earth not ??? This reminds me of an argument I had last year
with
Marion Potts, the head of education at Sydney Theatre Company and her Ned
boyfriend, who is also a drama teacher. We were talking about
Romeo+Juliet,
the then-recent movie. Marion said `It's ridiculous, it's not
Shakespeare,
kids are coming out of it saying `Why did everyone talk so funny?' Ned
and
I were quite to the contrary: we had both personally observed fifteen
year
old girls putting down their Baby Sitters Club books and taking the
Complete Shakespeare with them to read in bed!>>

She said THAT?  I thought Romeo+Juliet was the most Shakespearean take on
the play I'd ever seen.  

Mostly because the actors sounded like that was their natural speech,
rather than sounding like they were doing Shakespeare.
