Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard (Voracious_Reader , kxlly ) Voracious_Reader : Existentialist, tragicomedy based on Shakespeare's Hamlet . Very different from Shakespeare's Hamlet and yet there's a definite, deep connection between the two. 120
Macbeth by William Shakespeare (Pattty ) Pattty : Si te gustó Hamlet seguro te gustará Macbeth, que es una historia buena y mucho más "macabra" 40
King Lear by William Shakespeare (kara.shamy ) 30
Let Me Tell You by Paul Griffiths (alanteder ) alanteder : A novel from Ophelia's point of view constructed using only the 481 words used by Ophelia in the play (from all Quartos and First Folio editions). The technique is called Oulipo, creating a literature work using constricted, limited resources. 10
Life Is a Dream by Pedro Calderón de la Barca (Sergio88 ) Sergio88 : Perhaps the spanish play most similar to Hamlet. 10
Hamlet [sound recording] by Dmitri Shostakovich (Anonymous user) Anonymous user: The music by Shostakovich is ideally experienced in Kozintsev's movie for which it was composed, but it stands well on its own as a symphonic poem and makes a fine soundtrack to the play as well. 0 0
Ophelia by Lisa Klein (Anonymous user) 0 0
The Tragicall Historie of Hamlet Prince of Denmarke by William Shakespeare (Anonymous user) Anonymous user: The modern text of Hamlet and the First Quarto make an interesting and thought-provoking comparison. Little is known about the foundations of Q1, but it opens the door of endless speculation about Elizabethan authorship, publishing, piracy and what not. 0 1

Fortinbras. Let four captains Bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage; For he was likely, had he been put on, To have proved most royally: and, for his passage, The soldiers’ music and the rites of war Speak loudly for him— Take up the bodies—Such a sight as this Becomes the fi eld, but here shows much amiss. Go, bid the soldiers shoot. [A dead march]
