There is no reason to think that Shakespeare had a collaborator when he wrote Hamlet, unlike some of his other plays. As in the case of King Lear and Henry V (and maybe Taming of the Shrew), Shakespeare dusted off an old play when he wrote Hamlet and rewrote it. The earlier playwright did contribute something towards the final product but Shakespeare did not work with him. Likewise, differences between the printed versions of the play suggest that it was revised, but, unlike Macbeth, Shakespeare appears to have revised his own work.
