Sulla Milk and Sidra Stern created a marvelously detailed and decidedly screwy Cockney punk rock version of Hamlet composed entirely of Second Life screenshots with avatars in custom animations and poses, and dialog/layout incorporated in post-production. Just as impressive, it's more or less the entire plot and all the main characters, over 90 pages of evocative set pieces, sassy anachronisms, and lots of in-jokes for Residents. (Rosencranz and Guildenstern, for example, are played by live jazz duo Astrin Few and Flaming Moe.) I'd post excerpts with dialog, but nearly every single line is not work safe, unless you work with Quentin Tarantino.
Update, 8/14: To get a copy of "Skinhead Hamlet", visit Sidra Stern's store in Djork. <= Direct SLURL
I have got to check this out!
