A couple of years back I started writing a bunch of short sketches where old stories, with some of the old tropes, found themselves recast in modern times.  It all ended with Troy! Troy! Troy! a retelling of the Trojan War with the twist that faulty intelligence led the Greeks to invade Troy only to wind up in a quagmire after learning that Helen was never there.  As it turns out, Euripides beat me to this premise by a rather long margin.

There is also, in this lose series, a retelling of Othello as a modern detective drama and then there's this... Titus Andronicus on Wall Street.  It's less about Titus than about what Wall Street would be like if bankers cut each other's hands off and poisoned each other's children while also selling each other complex derivatives.  Last month, the fine people at Abstract Sentiment Theatre Co. staged it, among some very funny pieces of writing and improv and they posted the results to Youtube.

Theatre remains hyperlocal so I rarely get to share more than scripts with you all.  Here is something to watch, I think they did a great job.

At some point I want to do Hamlet as House of Cards but with really long asides that only poor Ophelia can here.
