And, of course, there's Pratchett - both
Wyrd Sisters
and
Lords and Ladies
use Shakespearean plots (Macbeth and Dream, respectively)
Plus, there's the 3rd story of Gaiman's
Dream Country
in which Titania and Oberon actually see
Midsummer Night's Dream
performed for them
Robert LePage did a one-person Hamlet called Elsinore.
1000 Acres--King Lear with incest!
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, natch.

There's also an... interesting German play called
HamletMachine

OH! Stoppard's

The Danny DeVito movie
Renaissance Man

Kurosawa's Lear is called
Ran
