Ah, can't help you on that one. I believe that Shakespear must be watched to be appriciated fully. Perhaps it is my prejudice as a drama major.
You have a couple options. One is to PhotoRead the play or sonnet you're after. Another is to PhotoRead the complete works of Shakespear (not too hard to obtain from a library or bookstore), and then regular-read the play or sonnet in question. Another is to PhotoRead just about everything you can find on the play or Sonnet in question, on the time period, supporting texts, etc. For example, PhotoRead Ovid's Metamorphosis and then regular-read a Midsummer Night's Dream. Some people use PhotoReading as a "background process" to regular reading. Regular reading becomes faster, because you have the "essence" of the text in preconscious memory, even if you haven't manually activated it. Another option is to make multiple passes and then do Rapid-Reading to fill in any gaps.
I would also take Zig Ziglar's advice in enrolling in "Automobile University." The time spent driving can also be spent in listening to audio education methods. If you can find a performance of said play on CD or tape (depending on what your car's sound system supports), you can make use of your driving-time. I'm currently listening to muder mysteries, as I find them unreadable yet very listenable.
So far, on the Great Works of Western Literature side of things, I've PhotoRead and activated the Illiad, the Oddessy and the Anead. I've been horidly lazy in regards to my great-books project, but I've been making good use of my time in other areas.
