Themes
Michelle Terry, the artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe, stated that the play continued in Shakespeare's efforts to take "figures of the past to ask questions about the world around him" and to play "with identity, power, with the idea of pleasure, and with all sides of an argument."[4]
