"Shakespeare grows on you. If you've kept the Bard at arm's length, put off by boring English lessons in high school or sing song renditions of his muscular verse by bad actors, it may be time to give the guy another chance.

You might discover that, like the unpromisingly geeky blind date with whom you shared an unexpectedly great night out, the better you get to know him, the more you'll like him.

And there's no better time to get to know Shakespeare than during the feast of Shakespeare and Shakespearean events that will take place."
