Drag Them to Shakespeare

I’ve gotten a little lazy when it comes to taking my boys to see Shakespeare. We did almost no prep before seeing Delaware Shakespeare‘s production of The Tempest.

First, DelShakes does a great job of introducing the characters and plot. Second, my sons have attended, performed in, or stage managed over a dozen Shakespeare performances. They have a comfort level with the language and rhythms that I would never have expected from 11- and 13-year-old boys.

Although my younger son was not enthusiastic, we were joined by my girlfriend and her theater-loving daughter and had a wonderful time during the last show of the run.
