"This is going to sound heretical, but I think that—particularly in the theatre—a lot of Shakespeare is too long. I think Act 4 in a lot of Shakespeare plays is a bit of a bum-number, and not much happens. I like to see Shakespeare intelligently cut, often to speed it up."

No, it just sounds zeitgeisty and ignorant. The answer to everything these days is just to speed it up and have loads of camera cuts and random zoom ins and edge handheld cameras and over the top sound effects etc to spood feed the attention deficit created by everyone's endless gadget fiddling and page refreshing. You don't "fix" shakespeare by pandering to the twitchy tic generation. If you don't like it, download Cow Clicker 4 or something.
