"We've taken scenes and contemporized the context while keeping Shakespeare's
language intact," Burrell said. "Hopefully, this will get those who find Shakespeare
not to their liking to become a little less stand-offish."
Some of the plays featured will be "Romeo and Juliet," "Othello," "King Lear,"
"Hamlet," "Much Ado About Nothing" and "Comedy of Errors." Burrell said an
example from the production includes a scene from "Romeo and Juliet" that is set
during a high school rehearsal
