The only time I understood Shakespeare in high school was my 10th grade year when the teacher made us read them out loud in class. If I remember, we did Julius Caesar and Midsummer's Night Dream. It made a huge difference to me to have them read aloud and to have the teacher stop occasionally and explain some of the more obscure passages.
