And don’t forget the crossover potential:
Hamlet v. Othello: Brood War
How about . . .
“Piglet, Son of Hamlet”
Which, in retrospect (after I hit the “submit” button) leads us to . . .
“The Return of Hamlet”
“The Return of the Son of Hamlet”
and, of course,
“Hamlet Meets Abbott and Costello”
Hamlet Meets Abbott and Costello: Act 1, Scene 1:
BERNARDO
Last night of all,
When yond same star that’s westward from the pole
Had made his course to illume that part of heaven
Where now it burns, Marcellus and myself,
The bell then beating one,–
Enter Ghost
MARCELLUS
Peace, break thee off; look, where it comes again!
BERNARDO
In the same figure, like the king that’s dead.
MARCELLUS
Thou art a scholar; speak to it, Horatio.
HORATIO
Humina humina humina…
