Those theories are bullshit. Shakespeare was Shakespeare.
Otherwise I agree with you. Shakespeares plays was meant to be performed by actors on stage.
But for the intendend theatre audience, the language would be much easier to understand than it is for us today. Reading it with annotations might help us understand more of the meaning.
