''Hamletmachine'' (in German, ''Die Hamletmaschine'') is a postmodernist drama by German playwright and theatre director [[Heiner Müller]]. Written in 1977, the play is loosely based on ''[[Hamlet]]'' by William Shakespeare. The play originated in relation to a translation of Shakespeare's ''[[Hamlet]]'' that Müller undertook. Some critics claim the play problematizes the role of intellectuals during the East German Communism area; others argue that the play should be understood in relation to wider post-modern concepts. Characteristic of the play is that it is not centred on a conventional plot, but partially connects through sequences of monologues, where the protagonist leaves his role and reflects on being an actor.
