Completely Hollywood (Abridged)

Produced by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing
Remember The Complete Works of Wm Shakespeare (abridged) and The Complete History of America (abridged)? Well, now the same team that brought you those hilarious productions boldly goes where few would dare - Tinseltown! The “bad boys of abridgement” are back as they rummage through the reels and flick through the films in this riotous carnival of the classics. Giving Hollywood more than just a nip and a tuck, they cut through the celluloid to condense the 186 greatest films in Hollywood’s over-100 year history into a complete compilation of classic cinematic clichés — plus a few brand new clichés they just made up.
"A hilarious and speedy take on Hollywood’s highs and lows. I loved it! An instant classic! Hurray for Hollywood ... !" -- BBC
"You’ll nearly fall out of your theater seat laughing. Spectacularly high energy… an absolute scream!" -- The Arizona Republic
