Our wings are not tired.
This is like asking for allusions to the Beatles/Stones/Chuck Berry/Elvis in today's music. Shakespeare's tentacles are in 90% of everything created for stage or screen.

Now I'm flashing on the villian from the animated Tick that was a hand puppet: "READ A FRICKIN' BOOK, WHY DON'T YA!!!"

There's Romeo and Juliet Together (and Alive!) at Last by Avi, which is a fun kids book. Also Hamlet 2, while we're on the silly side of things.
