Imagine a group of students from an isolated school in a remote mountain in China, with no access to the outside world, totally ignorant of the English language – reciting the sonnets of William Shakespeare. Follow them as they learn the classics through an ancient Chinese method of recitation, practicing diligently for a grand English speaking competition – where over 1000 Chinese children will for three hours, fluently and without pause, recite Shakespeare’s verses.
