I agree, its got to the point with Shakespeare tthat this type of production would be quite revolutionary."
Well, if you really want to get into the weeds, the plays as performed in Shakespeare's time wouldn't have had 'period appropriate sets and costumes' - they would have been performed in what would have been contemporary dress (as historical accuracy wasn't really a concern until closer to the Victorian era) and they wouldn't have had much of a set at all.
