Which of Shakespeare's plays do you think is too unfashionable to be relevant today, and in dire need of an 'update' to 'keep up with the times'?

The best stories are timeless. If you think a story is no longer relevant, it probably wasn't very good in the first place.

All that should be needed is preamble to explain to modern viewer historical content and maybe some antiquated terms or beliefs.
