There is a train of thought that there are no new stories to tell in theatre, that the classics, modern, and those written in the depths of time, are the crowning glories of the craft and cannot be improved upon, or at least changed to give a new sense of direction to the audience’s thoughts, to their pleasure and enjoyment, in the way they perceive the characters laid down. ]
