The 1991 comedy play "Fortinbras" is a sequel to which of William Shakespeare's works?

"Fortinbras" is a 1991 play by American playwright Lee Blessing. Set immediately following William Shakespeare's "Hamlet", the play recounts the events after Hamlet's death that go on throughout Elsinore. The play includes almost every character from Hamlet returning as a ghost. "Fortinbras" opened on 18 June 1991 at the La Jolla Playhouse.

"The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark", often shortened to "Hamlet", is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599 and 1602. Set in Denmark, the play depicts Prince Hamlet and his revenge against his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize his throne and marry Hamlet's mother.

Fortinbras is either of two minor fictional characters from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet". The more notable is a Norwegian crown prince with a few brief scenes in the play, who delivers the final lines that represent a hopeful future for the monarchy of Denmark and its subjects. Fortinbras is also the name of the former king of Norway and father of the crown prince Fortinbras. King Fortinbras was slain in the play's antecedent action in battle with King Hamlet. The battle between the two is described by Horatio in Act One, Scene One (I,i) of the play.
