Don't Read Shakespeare *

*this is a reupload with the music in the beginning restated.
If you are watching this, please share it around so that we can get some traction on it.

The way we teach Shakespeare defies reason. It is full of wonder, beauty, tragedy, and triumph and we destroy the potential for inspiration by shoving down kids throats the wrong way in school.

Very Special thanks to Scroll for the Old English reading!
"Scroll" usually writes about D&D and other roleplaying games at Scroll for Initiative dot com, but in his day job he's an English teacher in the UK (hence the pseudonym). He also specialized in Old and Middle English at Oxford. He recorded the Lord's Prayer for me in Old English because it's a text that exists in every version of English from pre conquest to the present day, and tends to be a text most readers know well already. Obviously the exact pronunciation is impossible to know for sure, but Scroll's version aligns closely with most scholars' best guesses. Cheers, Scroll!
