Shakespeare through the eyes of young girls

I call this marketing brilliance.

The folks at the Great River Shakespeare Festival had two precocious young girls - Eva and Anna - explain the plot of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (which, like most Shakespeare plays, is rather complex).

Then, actors performed the play as Eva and Anna explained it. The results are charming, and filled with giggles.

The point? If these girls can understand Shakespeare, so can you.
