THE COMPLETE WORKS OF William Shakespeare (abridged) is a hilariously-irreverent 90-minute ride through the entire Shakespearean canon – no prior experience necessary. Three actors will cover all 37 of Shakespeare's plays in a lightning-paced over-the-top performance that boasts the (self-proclaimed fastest version of HAMLET, clocking in at 43 seconds. Created by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield of the Reduced Shakespeare Company and has been performed all over the world.
