Much of what he writes about requires, I think, experience in the &#x27;real world&#x27; in order to understand and relate to te play. In high school I couldn&#x27;t understand why Hamlet dithers; what kind of hero feigns insanity and procrastinates? Heroes, everyone knows, charge right at the Death Star and the only question is whether he&#x27;ll use the battle computer or the Force.<p>Sometimes I wondered, are these just random ravings of a lunatic? <i>I could be bounded in a nut shell and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.</i><p>Now I understand it and his genius is a a pleasure, an education in humanity, and a wonder to behold. But perhaps it&#x27;s wasted in high school. Another problem is that there are so few good films of his plays, so people don&#x27;t have a chance to see well-done versions of them. Some of the films are so poorly produced and such wooden film-making that I&#x27;m afraid they will scare people away.
