I love the idea but these tend to read as summaries and not as real comics. I wonder if someone could take the same idea and get the spirit if not the summary of the plays.

Some of them are actually expanded to much more than three panels, like King Lear.
Very fun stuff!

Ha. These are hilarious. The Hamlet one is especially good.
The Midsummer one doesn't work that well, but that's pretty much because there are just too many weird plot lines to fit into 3 panels.

It's almost as if Shakespeare asked Metafilter how to find story inspiration.

The King Lear one should just have a black third panel with a dot of infinitely blacker black at the center.

Probably easier to pull off convincingly when the women's roles are played by men.

One of the best Juliets I've seen was a big fat middle-age guy.

Now I want to see Garfield strips redone as five act dramas in mixed verse and prose.
