This play is certainly something that wouldn't have been included in your literature lesson plan! It's not uncommon for schools to shun reworkings of the classics, but, put into a new light, these plays could make excellent school fundraisers!
The final scene in Hamlet has the highest body count of any of Shakespeare plays.
...The climax of Ham/thello is bloodier.
