This article discusses, through Translation Studies, the Hamlet and Macbeth installments the OMG Shakespere series, which features the Bard s plays in a digital environment. We consider the studies from Benjamin (1997) and Jakobson (2012) and relate their definitions to the concepts of adaptation (Hutcheon, 2013) and rewriting (Lefevere, 1992). The use of digital aspects is discussed through Crystal (2006) and Danesi (2017). We found that OMG Shakespeare mitigates the tragic tones of the plays, but its digital aspects make these stories more accessible to contemporary children and teens.
