In the 21st century the use of Shakespeare’s plays is stilled played yet not a lot of people respect Shakespeare’s plays as much as people did 4 centuries ago. This is because of all of today’s world which is all TV this and texting that there is no time to learn in school which can sadly make most or all of Shakespeare’s can be, well lost in translation which will make all of Shakespeare’s play just become useless and boring.
But the good news is that there are school in Australia e.g PMHS which help Shakespeare’s works live on. There are also many producers who are trying to remake Shakespeare’s plays into moves and at least some are successful and there could more films like “All’s well that ends well” could be a chick flick.
