| 30 | * ''Fanfic/MuchAdoAboutShakespeareLovesLaboursWon'': The fic has twofold: ''Love's Labour's Won'' is a lost play attributed by contemporaries to William Shakespeare. Scholars dispute whether it is a true lost work, possibly a sequel to ''Theatre/LovesLaboursLost'', or an alternative title to a known Shakespeare play. ''Much Ado about Shakespeare'' is of course a play on ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing''. |
| 31 | * ''Ides of March'' is a [[PlatformHell Kaizo hack]] of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''. (''Theatre/JuliusCaesar'', I.ii) |
| 32 | * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIBraveNewWorld'' (''Theatre/TheTempest'', V.i) |
| 33 | * ''Fanfic/TitaniaAndOberon'': The title likens Z-Man and Roxanne to the king and queen of the fairies in ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'' (which suits Z-Man's already-canon propensity to quote Shakespeare). |
