I really liked Nothing LIke the Sun (I think that was the title) by the Clockwork Orange guy, but I'm not sure if it fits the criteria - it's more about Shakespeare the guy than the work, iirc.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
A seminal Shakespeare production was Peter Brook's Midsummer Night's Dream [link] Amazing cast and a lyrical use of a circus theme. I wish I could have seen it so much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Several of Ngaio Marsh's mystery novels featuring Roderick Alleyn deal with theater productions of Shakespeare.

Ken Branagh's Henry V and Much Ado. Had an immense effect on making Shakespeare real and relatable for contemporary audiences-- making the dialogue very conversational and shading it with tone and nuance that made it more than a collection of arcane words.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Kurosawa remade Macbeth and King Lear. Both in awesome fashion.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Sons of Anarchy was much like Hamlet, at first.

The Trevor Nunn-directed stage version of Macbeth with Ian McKellen and Judi Dench is terrific and pretty groundbreaking, from what I've read.
