YouTube - The Beatles perform Shakespeare, in Colour - 0 views
-
I watched this clip of the Beatles performing the play within a play, 'Pyramus and Thisbe' from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in a class and found it not only extremely amusing but also educational. Their interpretation can be seen as a credible imitation of the Mechanicals' performance or simply as entertainment in honor of Shakespeare-either way, it provokes discussion!

This is a site similar to sparknotes. It has summaries, analysis, character lists, and quizzes.
