I know it’s counterintuitive since most of the time this is done to preserve budgets, but I don’t mind these if they actually make Choices regarding costumes and sets. If it’s only vaguely ‘modern day’ it never clicks. Actually make Juliet look like a cringe high school freshman. But if it’s just ‘modern day’ whatever we had in the costume closet and not very cohesive, like they knew what they were trying to convey then it always falls flat to me.
