Shakespeare didn’t sound like classical poshness to his works’ first audiences. It had new words in it and didn’t require mispronunciations in order to rhyme. It was more like storytelling via rap battle and I’m down for some early 21st-century upgrades to it.
There is a whole bunch of 21st century rewrites of Shakespeare but I can’t remember who did them. It might have been the BBC.
