Numerous references to ''Hamlet'' in popular culture (in film, literature, arts, etc.) reflect the continued influence of this play. ''Hamlet'' is one of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays, topping the list at the Royal Shakespeare since 1879.〔(Crystal, David, & Ben Crystal, The Shakespeare Miscellany. New York, 2005)〕 ==Plays== It has been argued that there are, effectively, only around thirty unique plots in all of literature. The following list of plays including references to ''Hamlet'' is ordered alphabetically. *In the Reduced Shakespeare Company version of ''The Complete Works of Wllm Shkspr (abridged)'', the entire second act consists of their deliberately folded, spindled, and mutilated version of ''Hamlet''. For an encore, they perform the 45-second version of ''Hamlet'', followed by the 3-second version, followed by the 45-second version backwards. *Paul Rudnick's 1991 play, ''I Hate Hamlet'', tells the story of a TV actor from L.A. who gets talked into doing ''Hamlet'' for Shakespeare in the park in New York. He rents John Barrymore's old apartment, and is soon haunted by the ghost of Barrymore himself. *Richard Curtis's ''Skinhead Hamlet'', a brief, rude, parody of the play which, according to the editors, is meant to be "Shakespeare's play translated into modern English. Our hope was to achieve something like the effect of the New English Bible." *The play ''Fortinbras'' covers the beginnings of Fortinbras's reign in Denmark immediately following the events of ''Hamlet''. Fortinbras is experiencing difficulty assuming the crown; Horatio attempts to get Fortinbras to tell Hamlet's story; the other characters (Hamlet, Polonius, Ophelia, etc.) all haunt Fortinbras as ghosts. *The one act play, ''Something's Rotten in the State of Denmark'', which heavily spoofs ''Hamlet'', basically shows how bad ''Hamlet'' can get. *Anton Chekhov's ''The Seagull'' makes a reference to a line in ''Hamlet'' when the character Constantine says (describing another character ), "Here he comes with his little book – words, words, words." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamlet in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
