I found it rather interesting that I came information about this play in which the Prince is compared to our current President Bush. Now if that isn't proof that Shakespeare's work is still a source of debate I don't know what is!
Some people will say putting plays in a modern setting (such as setting King Henry IV Part I during Vietnam) would be blasphemous, but personally I'm not all that much of a purist. The versatality of setting shows power is universal and the people who wield it.

Indeed, the play certainly touches on universal matters, including contemporary politics, the young future leader out for fun.
