Donate to the OTW, get a mug! Manipulation from here. We revisioners and transformative artists have to stick together, after all.(Hamlet is my favorite play. Notable transformative uses include Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and the lesser-known Kean, by Dumas père, itself reworked by Sartre into a play I adored as a teen; I always did like retellings. Which is also why I will see any production of Hamlet, even if they use a plastic pumpkin to represent the skull.)

..and of course, there's Season 1 of Slings & Arrows, starring OTW fave Paul Gross in the role of a former Hamlet actor, trying to direct a new production of Hamlet under difficult circumstances -- including his ongoing love for the actress who's now playing Gertrude, and his maybe-mad haunting by his former mentor's ghost.
If you haven't seen it, you need to rent it, if only for the season's theme song "Buck Up, Hamlet."
