- Education for Kids
Can you mix Shakespeare and kids? When was the last time you read or watched the Bard? Do you have a community of readers to read Shakepeare with? to read Shakespeare for? Can you create a community of Shakespeare appreciators with your children? Charity dives into quality retellings of William Shakespeare which are suitable for children, especially the 13 population. Charity argues that retellings are analogous to re-stagings. She recommends resources to help us respond to "Mommy, what is Hamlet about?" We are enriched by encountering Shakespeare and cannot exhaust his treasury by beginning early.
