I remember watching Romeo + Juliet and being impressed by how they seem to stick to the original wording it yet made it feel modern and very easy to follow. The word play struck me as quite clever and I didn’t have much trouble “getting it”
That said I never really bothered to figure out how close to the original text they stuck and what liberties they took with it.
