Ben notes in the (second) extended video that perhaps 80% of Elizabethans were illiterate and that plays are to be performed, not read.

He'd prefer that Shakespeare be introduced first by the drama department in early secondary school so that kids as young as 13 or 15 could perform Romeo and Juliet at their intended character ages - thus bringing the work to life.

And that only once they've experienced the energy of performance that later in final years of 16-17 should they study it formally in English Literature classes.
