After reading Christoper Moore's "Serpent of Venice" (a parody mashup of this and "Othello"), I wanted to read the source material. I really like this edition, with the Shakespearean version on the left page and the modern translation on the right side. I definitely got a lot more out of it, and understood the story-line and the jokes better, with the translation!

Oh my gosh! I didn't know that kind of translation would be available. I was wondering what I would read for this category. Now I am off to Amazon to search for a play. I think this would be a great way to get the most out of Shakespeare.
