Deborah read and liked Madeline's review of Hamlet:

"Hamlet, abridged:

GHOST/DAD: Hamlet, your uncle killed me and married your mom. I want vengeance, so best get to murdering, plzthnx.
HAMLET: EEK!
OPHELIA: Hamlet, are you okay?
HAMLET: Get away from me, skankwhore!
O...more Hamlet, abridged:

GHOST/DAD: Hamlet, your uncle killed me and married your mom. I want vengeance, so best get to murdering, plzthnx.
HAMLET: EEK!
OPHELIA: Hamlet, are you okay?
HAMLET: Get away from me, skankwhore!
OPHELIA: WTF? *goes from zero to crazy like that*
GERTRUDE: Kid, you need therapy.
HAMLET: And you need to be less of AN ADULTEROUS WHORE!
POLONIUS: OMG so rude!
HAMLET: Eavesdropping? I KEEL YOU!
*play goes on hold while Hamlet talks to skeletons*
LAERTES: You killed my dad and drove my sister to suicide, you jerk! I challenge you to a duel!
HAMLET: I KEEL YOU!
CLAUDIUS: MWAHAHAHA! I put poison in your goblet, Hamlet!
GERTRUDE: Yum, poisoned wine. *dies*
CLAUDIUS: Whoops, my bad.
HAMLET: I KEEL YOU!
GHOST/DAD: Wow, nice job son. Except for the part where you're bleeding all over my castle.
HAMLET: Ah, dammit. *dies*


And then the even more abridged version:

ROCKS FALL, EVERYONE DIES.

The end.

Really, what's not to love?
