Shakespeare’s works have also been adapted or spoofed countless times. My favorites are “The Forbidden Planet”, which was loosely based on “The Tempest”, and the “Moonlighting” spoof of “The Taming of the Shrew”.
Also “West Side Story” based on “Romeo & Juliet.”
Brush up your Shakespeare, start quoting him now!
Brush up your Shakespeare, and the women you will wow!
If they say your behavior is heinous,
Kick them right in their Coriolanus!
“Brush up you Sakespeare” from “Kiss me Kate”.
