The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield

March 22 – April 7

By now a comedy classic, Complete Works is a three-actor romp through the Bard's plays, full of parody, improvisation and farce. Among its many wacky wonders are Othello done as a rap song, Titus Andronicus portrayed as a cooking show and audience participation as Ophelia's subconscious in Hamlet. The play made a hilarious debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (1987) and then ran for nine record-breaking years at The Criterion Theatre in London. Now one of the world's most popular plays, it has been enacted in many languages.

What the critics said:

“Pithier than Python. Irresistible.” New York Times

“A madcap condensation that features non-stop laughs. Done at a whirlwind pace and with great delight, they are sure to win over even the most skeptical. And there is no doubt that William Shakespeare himself… would approve.” Daily Variety

“If you like Shakespeare, you’ll like this show. If you hate Shakespeare, you’ll love this show!” The Today Show

“Shakespeare as it was back in the Bard’s day: bawdy, irreverent, sublimely entertaining.” Miami Herald
