  Taming of the Shrew essay
As usual, Shakespeare is subtler than his interpreters and more modern than the historians and pseudo-historians who seek to place him in an imagined past with which they themselves are more comfortable.
Shakespeare's great strength is his understanding of human beings, and until actors, directors and critics can better that understanding, they--and we--would be better advised to learn from Shakespeare than to try to give him lessons in the form of revisions.
Given Shakespeare's pre-eminence as a playwright for the King's Men, his financial share in the company, and the theatrical failure of Fletcher's The Faithful Shepherdess (published in 1610), it is hard to imagine Fletcher's sequel to Shrew as anything other than a compliment to its author and a continuation of his themes.

 Splendid: Departments: The Essential Albums
Ellington and Strayhorn's imaginations, however, were greatly stimulated by all that they saw and heard of Shakespearean performances and scholarship when they went with their orchestra to perform at the Stratford Ontario Shakespeare Festival in July of 1956.
Ellington had long been a fan of Shakespeare -- supposedly Anne Hathaway's cottage was the first historic site he visited on his first trip to England in 1933 -- and Strayhorn was so fond of the Bard that he was able to quote long passages and speeches from the plays.
The Folger, the Stratford Festival, the RSC and Shakespeare in the Park are the best sources of Shakespearean theatre, but they're only available to a lucky few in certain locales.
