The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)

by The Reduced Shakespeare Company

Humorous, bawdy, farcical and highly entertaining, this three-man show attempts to produce all of Shakespeare's plays (and some of the sonnets) in a single, considerably abridged 90-minute performance. The performers are engaging, the writing is witty, and the over-the-top physicality of the show is quite entertaining. I think that viewers who are already familiar with Shakespeare's major works will get more out of this than the unitiated, but even those who say "William who?" will get a kick of this comedy trio. -- recommended by Scott C. - Bennett Martin Public Library
