These kids are 11. We're talking 6th graders here. I have a friend who play Viola from 'Twelth Night' or 'As You Will' when she was 11. At my school we read a different Shakespeare play, in full, every year 6th grade and up. And we preform scenes from his plays for years before that. The 4th graders did a scene from 'Midsummer Night's Dream' last year. The level of ignorance the Them show is scary to me.
