Hamlet Hears a Who

Forget rhyming couplets! Forget Elizabethan English! This is Shakespeare as Dr. Seuss would have written it. You will love this Shakespearean classic told in Dr. Seuss's rhyme, sprinkled with contemporary references to add to the silliness!

Sure Hamlet still battles insanity as he seeks the truth behind his father untimely death, but this humorous retelling also has Ikea-style furniture and characters who won't put down their cell phones. Their ringtones are personalized, so of course, Ophelia's is a wedding processional. And in answer to Hamlet's eternal question, "To be or not-why can't I hear it?" his father's Sturbucks-sipping ghost replies, "What you need is a helpful spirit!" The hillarious action and dialogue make this play a favorite.
