The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)

Auditorium, Hampton Hill Theatre

All the plays in 97 minutes.

Watch as three actors comically perform condensed versions of Shakespeare’s writings, even merging some of the plays together.   

 Our madcap performers will weave their way through all of Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories and Tragedies in just 97 minutes, leaving you breathless and helpless with laughter!

 If you like Shakespeare, you’ll like this show. If you dislike Shakespeare, you’ll love this show! Come join the high-speed roller coaster ride!

As the comedies aren’t anywhere near as funny as the tragedies, all sixteen have been condensed into ‘Four Weddings and a Transvestite’, the history plays are transformed into a game of American football, Othello is performed in rap and Titus Andronicus becomes a TV cookery programme. For the finale, Hamlet is staged first as a psychological exploration of Hamlet’s Ego and Ophelia’s Id, then performed in a matter of minutes and, for the finale, performed backwards.
