We read at least one Shakespeare play a year in high school . We also went to see at least one play a year (we lived near a small college that had a strong drama department) . This was back in the the 1960's. I think I got the most from actually seeing the plays, but second best was our teacher in 10th grade having us read it out loud. He also read many passages & explained them.
Do I think reading Shakespeare is necessary? Not really but it sure was an exercise in trying to understand the way the words were presented. Kind of like reading the King James version of the bible.
