Try Macbeth: Joe MacBeth (film: 1955), MacBird, and also Men of Respect
(film, 1989).

Cheers,

A wonderful reimagining of Shakespeare on stage is Good Night Desdemona,
Good Morning Juliet, by Ann-Marie MacDonald. That play adapts Romeo &
Juliet and Othello into a very funny, rather surreal, slightly racy, romp.

In addition to R&G are Dead, there is also Charles Marowitz's adaptation
of Hamlet (he also did a Taming of the Shrew and others) which is very
postmodern, and A Night in Elsinore by Richard Nathan.

And there is also Der Bestrafte Brudermord" ("Fratricide Punished"). I
don't know how easy it is to get a translation, and the play is pretty
dreadful, but it does raise interesting issues of transmission and
editorial history.

You could also have some fun with the second act of The Complete Works
of William Shakespeare, abridged, which is devoted to Hamlet, and the
Klingon Hamlet.

Off the top of my head, Hamlet also begat Heiner Muller's Hamletmachine
and Lee Blessing's Fortinbras (not to mention The Reduced Shakespeare
Company's Compete Works slapstick version); Lear begat Howard Barker's
Seven Lears , Mabu Mines' Queen Lear, and Elaine Feinstein's Lear's
Daughters; and The Tempest begat Aim
