Print Melanie Andrews was 10 years old and bedridden with sepsis when she was introduced to the world of Shakespeare. Her teachers were her mother and grandmother, a college professor who encouraged Andrews to read from the 1950s encyclopedia series “Great Books of the Western World,” which encompasses more than 400 works of literature. Over the span of a year, Andrews estimates, she read 20 Shakespeare plays, beginning with “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” while confined to her Compton home. She says she is one of the few people who has read and directed, designed or performed every Shakespeare play, “including ‘Coriolanus’ and ‘Timon of Athens,’ which nobody reads, because of my Nana. She was there every day for almost a year because I couldn’t walk.”
