By Samuel Taylor. Ignoring the distance between Shakespeare's theater and our own causes us to make his plays sanctimonious, formal, and yes: unrelatable.…We can bridge that distance by closing the social loop between crowd and stage that Shakespeare never intended to break, and by taking advantage of a very contemporary, even Millennial, desire to relate to what we watch.
