I can at least agree with you that the acting was top notch. But my father used to read me poetry about the princes in the tower when I was just a child. I know the story very well, and for me it has only one setting. The houses of Lancaster and York, and their conflict, are all so dependent on a particular time period for me that I simply cannot imagine them out of their time. My father was a historian and a librarian and had me learning a great deal of English history at a very young age, so perhaps this has prejudiced me beyond redemption. I think I would have less problem with the non-historical plays- although they all have a certain amount of temporal baggage- they have to, to have a credible atmosphere for the play. I did see a wonderful film called Tempest by Mazursky, which was an updating of Shakespeare's tempest, and I really did like that. But there again, it didn't try to keep the language. It had some problems but Molly Ringwald (first performance, I think) was great.
