one of my friends made a joke and I turned it into a thing- enjoy.

Hamlet AU where instead of the play scene, Hamlet invents the game Clue.

Hamlet: Ok so let’s play this game I just made. Basically someone killed the king, and you have to figure out, by process of elimination, who did it with what weapon where.

*10 minutes into the game*

Gertrude: Hmm… was it Ophelia, in the library, with a dagger?

Hamlet: well I don’t know mom, it’s not like I rigged this or anything. Why don’t you check?

Gertrude, checking the card: oh great, I was wrong. It was Claudius, with poison, in the garden.

*Claudius flips the table and storms out*

ah yes, that one couple from King Lear. What were their names again....?

There are a lot of unique versions of Shakespeare’s plays, so let me introduce you to one more:

Othello, but cut all of Iago’s asides. The entire play is just about this nice friendly guy called Iago, and how he gives really great advice to everyone- then suddenly in act 5 there’s the biggest plot twist in all of Shakespeare history- that Iago has secretly been the main antagonist the whole time.
