That’s the case for Claire McCarthy’s Ophelia, which stars Daisy Ridley as the eponymous lover of Prince Hamlet, who-in Shakespeare’s version-is a beautiful, unknowable madwoman who becomes overcome with delusion and commits suicide. And given its universal themes, the play is prone to unique adaptations The Lion King, for instance, was based on Hamlet, and other creators have morphed the familiar subject matter into brand new stories that pay homage to Shakespeare’s world while forging their own identities.
William Shakespeare‘s tragedy about the Prince of Denmark, his deceiving uncle, and his quest for the crown is arguably the Bard’s most famous tale of all, a staple in high school classrooms and the subject of dozens of film adaptations.
