"Too often, unless we read a Shakespeare play beforehand, we process the language as if it were coming from a poorly tuned-in radio station. Shakespeare didnt write his plays to be experienced impressionistically as poetry; he assumed his language was readily comprehensible. At what point does a stage of a language become so different from the modern one as to make translation necessary? Mr. Richmond is brave enough to assert that, for Shakespeare, that time has come. The French have Moliere, the Russians have Chekhov-and now, we can truly say that we have our Shakespeare."-John McWhorter, Manhattan Institute "Richmond has performed a service for English-speaking students everywhere."-Boak Ferris, Calif.
