    Never really seen this level of engagement between a professor and students, and all around a work of theater so great as Shakespeare.

      Pro trick: you can watch movies on kaldrostream. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.

    Learning Shakespeare dynamically is amazing! Performance brings him to life in a way I never expected.

    I think one of the things that's so often overlooked aspects of this play is that you have, probably for the first time in a popular public area, the origins of the love/hate romantic comedy. This trope, played out in so many movies from Romancing the Stone, to the original Star Wars trilogy and all points in between, is the staple of all romantic comedies because without initial friction there is little or no interest for the audience.
