Shakespeare for White Trash -01- Hamlet

Canadian author Crad Kilodney created the “Shakespeare For White Trash” series to make Shakespeare understandable and enjoyable to the many millions of people living now who have little or no knowledge of Shakespeare, and to prove to them that the stories contained in Shakespeare's plays are superb. The plots and characters are unchanged, but everything else has been radically restyled. Read Crad's versions and you will become a Shakespeare fan.  Enjoy!
Kilodney originally posted his versions on Wordpress.com from 2010 to shortly before his death in 2014. It was the first time that all 38 of Shakespeare’s plays had been rewritten by one author and published in one place. They are re-packaged here to increase the likelyhood of people, like you, finding them.
Mr. Kilodney hoped acting companies would be encouraged to stage these plays more often.
Gist of the story: Hamlet’s father, the King of Denmark, was murdered by his brother, Claudius
(Hamlet’s uncle), who then remarried Hamlet’s mother, Gertrude. Hamlet and Gertrude don’t know
Claudius murdered the old king. Then the dead king’s ghost appears to Hamlet and tells him how he3
was murdered and tells Hamlet to get revenge on Claudius. When Claudius realizes Hamlet is on to
him, he plots to get rid of Hamlet before Hamlet can get his revenge. By the end almost everybody
dies. (How can you resist a story line like that?)
