Reviews of the ORIGINAL Shakesploitation Run Iron Age Theatre presents the Philadelphia premiere of pimped-out, Shaolin, brain-eating Shakesploitation! Ninja Hamlet: Burning Fist of Denmark pits the Kung-Fu Dane against awesome Claudius; and our dead lovers, Romeo and Juliet, become starcrossed zombies in Romeo and Juliet II: Apocalypse. The Bard is back with a vengeance!
Reviews!
Shakesploitation! successfully purees the Bard in a blender with , the walking dead (“Romeo and Juliet II: Apocalypse), and kung-fu (“Ninja Hamlet Burning Fist of Denmark”). The renditions will leave you in hysterics. Hamlet strives to defeat Claudius, kung-fu master, to be the greatest fighter in all of …Denmark.

Philadelphia City Paper
One example of the inventive, unique offerings of the Philly Fringe is Iron Age Theatre and Center Theater’s “Shakesploitation” trio. This fast-paced comedy features classic Shakespeare plays-- Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet--and resets them into the cinematic worlds of 1970s film.
In Romeo and Juliet II: Apocalypse, the star-crossed lovers rise from the dead the day after their joint suicide-- as zombies bent on eating their reconciled families. Hamlet: Burning Fist of Denmark recounts the tale of Hamlet training with the Shaolin master Phat Ho to defeat the fighting technique of Claudius and avenge his father’s death. Ninja Rosencrantz and deadly duels both make an appearance.
