Would you rather read Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet or the script from Westside Story?

I’ve read both.
West side story is much more relevant in that Shakespeare’s plays were full of common idioms from that era that have no meaning in today’s English................

The latter. The American version. Bill Shakespeare would be pleased his memory has been honored.
