Taryn Heath · Answer 1

The director could adapt the context of a play by Sahkespeare by replacing some concepts with circumstances of the modern world.

Explanation:

Shakespeare plays were written over a hundred years ago. Although Shakespeare wrote his works trying to fit concepts and circumstances that were current to the time he lived, time passed and society began to change these concepts and to live new circumstances.

For this reason, if a theater director wishes to change a Shakespeare play to make it more familiar to a modern American audience, he / she must modify the concepts and circumstances outdated by current concepts and circumstances that are familiar to the modern audience. This way, the audience can identify with the plot and enjoy the play with greater happiness.
