This song, Love Story by Taylor swift was inspired by Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet. In this song Taylor Swift talks about how they met when they were young and fell in love. Although the song isn't completely like the play it has major references to it. This shows us how, many years after Shakespeare, people still refer to his plays and how he not only impacted literature but also music.
Shakespeare also inspired composers to write music that would represent certain acts or parts of his plays. The composer giuseppe verdi wrote this musical piece and titled it Otello after Shakespeare's play, Othello.
This is "Shakespeare's Globe" and is a remake of the Globe Theatre that Shakespeare and his play company, Lord Chamberlain's Men, built in 1599. "Shakespeare's Globe" is located in London and puts on many plays, a lot of which are by Shakespeare. This shows us that Shakespeare's plays are still relevant in today's modern times. It also shows us what an impact he had on the theatre.
