This is my view as well. I'm no literature buff, but some of my fondest lessons in school were dissecting the meanings of Shakespearean prose. Finding the fun pronunciations that turned something boring into something humorously vulgar. His play on words is what makes so much of his comedies work even today.

It is always a treat to get to watch a play that stays true to the cadence that Shakespeare wrote for.

Can I understand an entire play while watching it: no. Can I find the fart joke: YES!
