We're not going to do our production as a museum piece. Too many theater companies are always treating Shakespeare like he was some sort of god, and they miss the whole point of how timeless and spiritual his work is. If Shakespeare was here today, he'd be waiting tables by night at Rock Bottom Brewery and by day he would sleep. And when he would be awake, and not waiting tables or getting ready to sleep, or getting up from sleeping, he would write just as timeless as he did in his own time, but with modern words. And it would still be timeless. He had a gift, which is as much valid today as it is in modern times.
