If you want them to understand the human condition and some of our language’s earliest and most famous works, I’d recommend Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, or Romeo and Juliet.  They’re all available for free on the Internet.

I have some favorites in the category of “clever” drama.  Have you heard of A Midsummer Night’s Dream?  I’d recommend it as a kid-friendly work to read aloud.

That sounds good. What is that about?

There’s an easy summary here.  It’s about a conflict between two dream worlds: the world of daylight and the world of night, summer and winter.  There’s also a conflict between the world of law, or order, and the world of love.

Sounds good.
