Shakespeare's Comedies Are Increasing in Popularity

Shakespeare seems to be gaining in popularity, just a little bit. I'm hoping that I have a small part to play in ushering in a new age of deep readers making Shakespeare's acquaintance. The mere mention of Shakespeare's name is likely to make even the most voracious of readers wince. But many first-time readers or readers who haven't read Shakespeare since school have found with our group reading he's also incredibly fun. He's playful, he's insightful, and he's medicinal.
