"The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)"

In this madcap comedy, three guys in tights set out to perform all 37 of Shakespeare's plays in less than 100 minutes, with hilarious results. These theater classics undergo some changes, of course. "Titus Andronicus" becomes a cooking show, "Othello" is summarized in rap, "Macbeth" turns from tragedy into broad comedy and "Hamlet" is pared down to less than a minute. Originally created by the Reduced Shakespeare Company and first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the show ran for almost a decade in London and has since traveled all over the world before landing at Art Centre Theatre.
