It has been a while since I last watched a good Shakespeare production, the most recent ones were Whedon's Much Ado about Nothing (only really good for Dogsbody and co.), but the other two I enjoyed very much were the BBC adaptation of Macbeth with Patrick Stewart in faux-Soviet aesthetic, as well Fiennes' Coriolanus back in '11. The one thing I remember with respect to Coriolanus and Much Ado... is that there are a number of aspects to Shakespeare's plays that can make them hard to utilise in more modern settings, e.g. the exile scene in the former, people being put under house arrest in the latter in people's mansions, etc. However, you can still get pretty good acting nevertheless. I do recall at the end of Coriolanus the way that Fiennes spits 'Boy' at Tullus being quite memorably vehement.
