The Tragedy of Umlaut, Prince of Deutschmark (The Collected Works of Darrell R. Brown)

The greatest Shakespeare play gets a parody for the ages. Darrell R. Brown takes on Hamlet with a no-holds-barred lampooning of that rotten state of Denmark. This five act play, suitable for performing or just reading for laughs is the story of poor Prince Umlaut’s struggle to get revenge on his uncle, who murdered his father and married the widowed mother. A blend of sophisticated puns, broad slapstick and many different comedic styles in between, The Tragedy of Umlaut, Prince of Deutschmark perfectly makes fun of Elizabethan play conventions, the Bard, and Hamlet. A tragedy never looked so comical.
