Shakespeareana

Being a miscellaneous collection of parodies, amusements, and other references to the works of William Shakespeare.

• Adam McNaughton wrote a lovely, very British, three-verse parody/summary of the plot of Hamlet, titled "Oor Hamlet".  See Martin Carthy's recording, or Michael Cooney's notes on the piece.  It's been recorded by a variety of artists, including Mike Agranoff and John Roberts & Tony Barrand.
• The Complete Works of William Shakespeare at MIT.
• Shakespearean insult generator.
• Shakespearean Baseball by Wayne and Schuster (as transcribed by yours truly from a 1970's radio broadcast).
• Hokey Pokey
• Fox in Socks, Prince of Denmark.
• Shakespearean Pie, an hysterical combination of Hamlet and "American Pie".
• The Noble Ton of Pork, a bad pun/shaggy-dog-story based loosely on Richard III.  (I heard this in a better form years ago, believed to be written by Jay Cross, aka Anton of WinterOak.)
• "A Small Rewrite", wherein Shakespeare's agent convinces him to edit down "all the dodgy" stuff in Hamlet's soliliquy.
• A Bard by Any Other Name is a collection of short take-offs of Shakespeare, in the style of Harold Pinter, Tennesee Williams, and David Mamet... in which I will shortly have the pleasure of performing the role of Polonius!
• Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope is an hysterical movie trailer for the "new" book by Ian Doescher.
