Shakespeare’s porn (photos)

Description: Fiction history, which is now so popular, has been present in porn for many years. Lots of the histories’ characters have had their XXX version, so why not celebrating the 400th anniversary from Cervantes and Shakespeare’s dead in order to honor these two fantastic writers by imagining that the Spaniard visited the Englishman. They exchanged some ideas despite the different languages and ended up celebrating this interchange by making use of the most universal language.

A Midsummer Night’s Cream is merely one recent example of a growing genre of Shakespeare adaptation: Shakespeare porn.

The film in question is A Midsummer Night’s Cream—tag line: “What (Horny) Fools These Mortals Be!”—and it’s merely one recent example of a growing genre of Shakespeare adaptation: Shakespeare porn. Nominated for ten 2001 Adult Video News Awards, including a best actress nomination for the porn legend Nina Hartley as Titania, Canterbury’s film joins Romeo and Julian (1993), Hamlet: For the Love of Ophelia (1996), Taming of the Screw (1997), and dozens of other works in this expanding canon.

Shakespeare scholars of a more traditional sort might dismiss these X-rated adaptations as nothing more than video-store giggle fodder. But Richard Burt, a professor of English at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, sees a lot more going on here. In Unspeakable ShaXXXspeares: Queer Theory and American Kiddie Culture (St. Martin’s, 1998) and in a number of articles he has published in recent years, Burt argues that these porn adaptations, along with other “dumbed-down” versions of Shakespeare, can provide insights into not just the plays themselves but also the larger workings of American culture in the post-Cold War world. He says a prime motivating force behind these unorthodox renditions is “a new form of cultural imperialism in which Shakespeare is regarded as a native export, as if the United States could claim anything as its own.”
