As a fellow bookish child, I really enjoyed this. It’s interesting what shapes us and how that changes over the years. And I agree with your teacher, Shakespeare is much better when it’s experienced rather than read in a classroom! As I read with my son now, I feel kid’s books are very much the same. There’s something about hearing written word read aloud that really transforms it into something special.
I think it's forgotten sometimes that reading has always been a communal experience; most people never had a Bible hundreds, it was read to them at Church, we all grew up being read children's books and to some extent, film is a written story before it's ever committed to screen.

Look forward to your other writing!

Not the worst acting I've seen. I think he was pretty good in Oblivion too.
