I enjoyed this resource and think there is a lot of merit in it as a piece for a school production. It would be a bit of fun for pupils who have studied Shakespeare and know something about the comic allusions that he employs. It could be used as a performance piece for the GCSE in Drama and also as a general piece for school productions
