Even Italian parody musical troupe Oblivion has hopped on the Bard's 4th Centennial bandwagon.
And the result is both redoubtable and hilarious, like any other Oblivion affectionate parody musical.
From Romeo drinking strychnine, to Desdemona stifled by her husband, to Lady M. washing the indelible bloodstains off her hands, to yandere Ophelia plunging into the lake, to Julius Caesar stabbed by the Senate XXIII times, to Cleopatra putting a sacred cobra to her --ehm-- bosom... Oblivion has served us the highlights of Shakespearean tragedy, brilliantly and tongue firmly in cheek as always, on a platinum platter:
