If you think it is irrelevant there is probably a lot of things going on in contemporary books and plays that are going over your head I don't watch plays, and I doubt I'm missing many Shakespeare references in modern books. Even if I am, I don't lament what I don't know I'm missing. But why keep others away from it because you didn't like it? Because it's an enormous time sink that could be better used on other things. Why turn so many kids off of plays, poetry, and appreciation of literature because of an obsession with one playwright?
