I find that I can understand Shakespeare if the actors understand it, but miss the point when the actors do, as well. For complicated lines, there's a big difference between saying the words as they are meant to be said, and just reciting them. I don't think a text-to-speech program would do a good job with Shakespeare, at least for me. For simpler works, the difference gets smaller, but I have to assume that it is still there.
