HaMLeT by oddmitchbrown

Welcome! After two years, I completed my passion project with a meaningful, common-tongue translation of Hamlet, meant to bring Shakespeare to the masses. While still holding true to its original time period and subtext, the modern-day Hamlet strives to introduce people to Shakespeare, and the world of theatre again. Did you know Shakespeare was born into a plague? Not just any plague, THE plague. The "Black Death" ravaged Europe and changed the world as we knew it. You can see its effect in Shakespeare's art and how his works shaped what we know as theatre to this day. Much like then as today, theatres were forced to leave the ghost light on, close their doors, and witness the world became a little less bright. Out of the ashes emerged, what is widely accepted to be, the greatest work of the greatest playwright of all time. Cue Shakespeare! The Bard gave us The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark; a new perspective on life, and what it means to be, or not to be, human. Converting old English and Shakespeare has been the efforts of many since its initial development. With in-depth reference and research, a common-tongue version of Hamlet came to be, while staying true to its original setting. Hamlet is an open-source play, but culturally it's a different story..

Hamlet but it's Better by An0th3rU53rnam3

Hamlet is long. And Shakespearean. "Hamlet but it's Better" is shorter and less Shakespearean. Follow Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, as he searches for revenge against King Claudius for the murder of his father in this play with themes of death, life, revenge, guilt, mental health, and relationships. And above all, to thine own self be true. TW: suicide and depression are major themes in this play. Please read at your discretion!

Julius Caesar (Completed) by WilliamShakespeare

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar (First Folio title: The Tragedie of Iulius Cæsar) is a history play and tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1599. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra. Although the play is named Julius Caesar, Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines as the title character; and the central psychological drama of the play focuses on Brutus' struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism, and friendship.

Othello by WilliamShakespeare

Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army and his unfaithful ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.
