Captions available

The idea

Four things: inverted and compressed syntax, words whose senses have shifted, dense figurative language, and unfamiliar theatrical convention. Every one has had a unit devoted to it, so the difficulty is distributed rather than new.

In practice

Four difficulties, four earlier units.

Where people slip

Nothing here is a new skill.
