Hamlet Everywhere, From Boy Meets World to Star Trek to Clueless and Beyond: This is great!

Geoff Klock dug up clips from 198 movies and TV shows quoting Hamlet, from The Simpsons to Boy Meets World to Star Trek and beyond, and whittled them down to just under 15 minutes.

This is so awesome.

Natalie Portman? Really? Sigh.

Natalie Portman and Michael Fassbender are attached to star in a big-screen adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth,with Fassbender in the title role and Portman as Lady MacBeth.
The script is billed as an updated version of Shakespeare’s tale of revenge and ambition, complete with the blood and thunder of the original tragedy.

Is this casting a Yay or Nay?

These are not our Father's words!: Kill Shakespeare's Defense of the Meta-Text | ImageTexT: Interdisciplinary Comics Studies:

Great scholarly article on Kill Shakespeare. Well worth a read. I’m currently waiting to find out if an article I’ve written (with my fantastic project partner and fellow Shakespeare fangirl, Helen) about Kill Shakespeare/Nicki Greenberg’s Hamlet has been accepted for publication. Fingers crossed!

MC Lars - Hey There Ophelia (Featuring Gabe Saporta And Brett Anderson)

My cousin sent me this today - had never heard of this song - it’s pretty clever.

How will you watch that version of Othello? Is there a link to it or a download? Something to pay?

I’ll answer this publicly in case others are not aware of NT: Live.

National Theatre Live is the National Theatre’s great project that broadcasts productions live (but not always, as some countries like Australia received delayed broadcasts) from the London stage to cinemas across the UK and around the world.

You can found out more at the NT: Live website.

Othello is screening later this year.
