Live performances have been the best. Sadly, by definition, they're the hardest to share with folks. I was lucky enough to live for a long time in areas with a lot of colleges and local indie theatre troupes, which in turn meant a lot of cheap and innovative takes on the Bard.
I was lucky enough to be in London in 2013 and got a chance to see this very good interpretation of As You Like It. It did a great job of remaining true-to-form but blending newish elements (modern clothes, cigarette smoking, etc).
Luckily being Royal Shakespeare Company they have a clip on YT.
(Setup for this scene, Orlando is in love with Rosalind....in this scene Rosalind disguises herself as another boy to sneak out how he really feels about her)

Genuinely jealous -- seeing the RSC live is just a unique experience.
