Haris Pasovic is seeking to put "Hamlet" into a 21st Century setting.WTF?
There hasn't been a Muslim prince at an Ottoman court since 1924 at the absolute latest.

"Hamlet is a universal story that concerns us all," Pasovic said. "These issues do not concern only Muslims, but all people equally That's big of him. Maybe some day some Christian director will go wild and stage Hamlet as if it took place in 16th Century England. That would be daring.

A remarkably stupid idea.
Hamlet's tragic flaw--which is not actually hesitation, but presumption, the desire to damn Claudius, to which he as a mere man has no right, rather than just kill him, to which as an heir whose throne was usurped he has every right--makes not sense in an Islamic context, where deliberately damning (according to their lights) apostates, 'infidels' and the like is perfectly acceptable.

Most interesting! I greatly admire modern adaptations of Shakespeare, most notably Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet film from the mid-90's.
