  • 1.  Parodies of Shakespeare

    Anybody know of some examples of parodies of Shakespeare. There is one from the South Park guys any others? Trying to write one.
    Basic premise of Hamlet being bitten by a vampire.

    One of my favorite One Acts was Hamlette...where Hamlet is female...super fun parody. I ended it with a tap dancing sword fight with light sabers...by Allison Williams. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged The Seussification if Rimeo and Juliet Don Zolidis' The Hamlet Thrill-ma-geddon Miss Beth by Don Z as well ------------------------------------------- Glenn Morehouse Olson Theater Teacher, Director St. Francis MN -------------------------------------------

    Postcards from Shakespeare is one other potential to look at. Always loved Complete Works abridged, too. The former can have an absolutely enormous cast, the other, only three. Good luck! ------------------------------------------- Phillip Goodchild Valrico FL -------------------------------------------

    One of my favorites is Ionesco's "Macbett."
