Sounds like an excellent idea. However, I too feel that Shakespeare can really only be appreciated in performance and am very glad we never had to read anything like his plays in school. It's hard to see how you could end up being anything but turned off Shakespeare completely by being forced to read his plays without actually being motivated to do so.
If this helps a few more youngsters become acquainted with the Bard and makes him a bit less arduous for the remainder, then that's surely a good thing.
