Video CliffNotes

CliffsNotes Films has released videos of six often-taught Shakespeare plays, from “Macbeth” to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” co-produced by Mark Burnett (“Survivor,” “Celebrity Apprentice”). The goal, says Karen Cahn, general manager of branded experiences at AOL, a CliffsNotes partner, is to create “edutainment” that inspires young people to read the original.
