Shakespearean adaptation

A Shakespearean adaptation involves modifying or reinterpreting William Shakespeare's original plays to fit different contexts, genres, or modern settings. This process may include updating language, changing characters, or shifting the story's time and place, while aiming to preserve the core themes and emotional impact of the original work. Adaptations allow contemporary audiences to connect with Shakespeare’s timeless ideas—such as love, power, and betrayal—through fresh perspectives and creative reinterpretations, making the classic plays accessible and relevant today.
