Barker, Howard. Gertrude – The Cry. London: Calder Publications, 2002. [note: Ophelia is replaced within this play by a different female character called Ragusa, but as Ragusa becomes romantically involved with Hamlet it seems obvious that Ragusa is a spin-off from Ophelia, just as another new character, Albert, is a spin-off from, and combination of, Fortinbras and Horatio].

Knowles, Katherine. Loving Ophelia. Unpublished play. [note: this play is about Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the relationship that he had with Elizabeth Siddal, the artistic model who posed as Ophelia for a painting by Millais. I’ve included it for its relevance, even if Shakespeare’s Ophelia seems unlikely to garner more than a passing reference, since Siddal herself is part of Ophelia’s history].
