Shakespeare is extremely flexible. There have been many adaptations which used different settings, time periods and costumes. Often this is done to make the Bard more accessible and understandable to people who might otherwise be daunted by the rich and dense dialogue.
So I cordially invite you to go see the damn play. If that’s too much effort, check out half of Kenneth Branagh’s Shakespeare adaptations, which are set in different periods, or even Romeo+Juliet, which while extremely florid and rather silly, is a good example of changing the setting to bring a classic to a new audience.

“Duck Senior”?? Waugh! Ten demerits for the proofreader!

Why not see it before you judge. Oh and for your information a great deal of money was spent on the costumes. You must do better and criticise from a position of knowledge rather then ignorance.

Set in LA? With orange groves and a campground for the wild arcadia that is the Forest of Arden?? Truly absurd. Guess they didnt want to spend on costumes and sets. Michael must do better.
