This study analyzes how contemporary plays try to repeat Shakespeare’s works with ironic distance as a means toward a parodic echoing of Shakespeare. The Marowitz Hamlet, written by Charles Marowitz, rearranges the plots and lines of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, using the collage technique. The multi-layered plot, consisting of a main plot and its inter-reflected subplots, is designed as one of Shakespearean staging strategies to actualize his plays on the proscenium stage. This plot structure also heightens the themes of Hamlet, such as revenge, honor, life and death, by showing them repetitively through multiple representations to the dramatic rhythm of similarities and variations. Based on this dramatic structure, Marowitz tries to explore a new approach to Shakespeare. While Shakespeare concentrates on Hamlet himself through his long monologues, Marowitz let Hamlet share his tragic burden with other characters like Fortinbras. Reorganized plots and lines can change the meaning of the original text and its themes. We can observe how Hamlet copes with his problems more actively with the help of dynamic exchanges of dramatic lines and actions. Therefore, contemporary Shakespearean adaptations can provide an effective way to communicate with Shakespeare from a new aspect.
