The Shakespeare resurgence around the turn of the millennium has seen a plethora of new films, stage performances and teaching strategies, many of them aimed at the adolescent audience. Dr. Bagg claims that the popularizing and problematising of Shakespeare as exemplified in Hollywood and postmodern takes on his work demotes the language of the plays and in doing so strips them of their kaleidoscopic perspectivising and skepticism. Her own intensive work with adolescents both in the classroom and on stage convinces her that Shakespearean language and the world views that it opens up can indeed become accessible to adolescents, and she argues passionately that depriving them of this access is short-sighted and unfair.
