All 37 of Shakespeare's plays in 97 minutes! An irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's plays, The Complete Works
of William Shakespeare (Abridged) was London's longest-running comedy for 10 years. Praised by the Los Angeles Times as "wildly funny" and by the
Montreal Gazette as "the funniest show you are likely to see in your entire lifetime."
Presented by Endstation Theatre in conjunction with Renaissance Theatre.
"The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) embodies one of comedy's most essential impulses: the adolescent urge to take a baseball
bat to the culturally revered. A mix of pratfalls, puns, willful misreadings of names and dialogue, clunky female impersonations, clean-cut ribaldry, and broad
burlesque. The gung-ho vitality is impossible to resist. The conversion of the histories into a football game is very funny. So is a rap version of OTHELLO.
HAMLET truly soars and allows the actors to come into their own as manic clowns. At its giddiest, its tone recalls the fabled Bullwinkle cartoon shows."
-- Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"This irreverent deconstruction of Shakepeare's work makes a dilly of poor Willy.
A fantasia of zany energy that throws together Monty Python-ish drag and Mel Brooks-ish anything-for-a-laugh gags." -- Ben Brantley, New York Daily News
"Fresh, energetic and funny. A wild and silly frolic." -- Pia Lindstrom, WNBC-TV
