Best Answer

The IMdb lists 783 movies and TV productions based in some way on Shakespeare's writing, 12 in 2009. There is a Shakespeare play playing somewhere in the world at any given time. Numerous acting companies devote themselves exclusively to the works of Shakespeare.

Shakespeare continues to be more significant than any other single playwright in the world because he is more frequently acted, not only in the original but also in translations and adaptations.

Why? Because he is genuinely better than other playwrights. Actors find his plays challenging; audiences find them moving and funny.

What does Shakespeare mean by the word in?

He means "in". Shakespeare's English is still English and "in" means "in". "In fair Verona" (Romeo and Juliet) means just what it says: in the city of Verona. When Lady Macbeth says, "What? In our house?" it means exactly what you think it does.
