It helps bring home to a modern audience what is happening in the play. Some people find that the abstraction of setting the play in an unfamiliar time and place interferes with their understanding of the themes.



By setting it in a modern day setting which is far easier to relate to it allows people to enjoy the play more easily and appreciate how timeless the themes actually are.
