I grew up NOT reading Shakespeare (I am lucky in that aspect, I cannot read any of the classics in my own language, so i can relate to the apprehension of the English/British) My first taste of Shakespeare was at The Globe theatre in London, Much ado about Nothing, and Shakespeare is imho best appreciated while watching on stage.

Two young actors Dan Poole and Giles Terera (both have actually been in a Shakespeare production since) trying to find out how to tackle The Bard, they interview the great actors of this age to find out how they do it..

Their documentary takes them to Denmark for Hamlet and L.A. for an interview with the director of Romeo & Juliet (with Leonardo) while they themselves hit a hard patch in their careers.

It is a documentary to liberate Shakespeare from his reputation and make him into a pleasure - something I truly support.
