First of all, I fine this article a little annoying. I mean, we've all heard the complaint that Shakespeare's language is "hard". The thing that I think distinguishes a good Shakespeare performance from a bad one is how the language itself is conveyed to the audience beyond just the plot. It's easy, like this article suggests, to simply get around the words with spectacle. But there's something to be said for a company that can really take apart and convey the poetry behind the words, since I think that's part of what makes Shakespeare's plays wonderful.
