I’m currently enrolled in a Shakespeare class in college and I have chosen to write a research report on the popularity of Shakespeare. Any input would be much appreciated if anyone is interested. My question is: Why do Shakespeare and his plays/other works continue to be so popular among so many different audiences? I am essentially attempting to describe the draw of Shakespears works on audiences of all types; young and old, etc. I appreciate any help that could be offered! — Charleen Publiski (char@tonster.
