We have to consider the relevence of the play to a modern audience, and through a consdieration of what costumes, set, lighting, script (editting etc), blocking... how we would highlight an appropriate theme eg. power, betrayal, disguise, madness, chaos and order etc etc.

Most ppl are choosing to modernise it, or put it in a new context
eg. Exploring "power" by setting it in a modern boardroom meeting, business world etc etc.

I have no ideas! (i really dislike the play, and find little relevence to a modern audience..) however i have to do something... any ideas for stimulus?

(I wont take them, but it might help me broaden my own thinking)
