I’m not accusing you or your family of being anything. Shakespeare works just fine on paper if he’s presented properly. One can even make the argument that plays like Hamlet and King Lear work better on paper than on stage. The parents not being good readers is more attributable to a general decline in cultural literacy due both to pandering educators not wanting to challenge students (like the ones in this article) and the increasingly dumbed down pop media.
