William Godshalk may (for all I know) be accurate in correcting Terence
Hawkes's statement about the ban on _Coriolanus_ in occupied Berlin,
noting that the ban may have only extended to "translations, adaptations,
and independent versions."  But he should consider that EVERY production
of a playscript is a translation, adaptation, and/or independent version, and
that no production--whether by the King's men, the BBC, the RSC, or at
Wanamaker's Globe--isn't.

Director Gordon McCall DID "weave" *R&G are Dead* into a provocative, very
dark production of *Hamlet* at University of British Columbia a few years
back.
 
If this is of interest, there's a review/description of the production in
*Shakespeare Bulletin* 10, Winter 1992.
