The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)

This event has ended

dlr Mill Theatre, Thursday 27th February - Saturday 29th February

The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) – Pasos Theatre Company.

Shakespeare may be turning in his grave, but the show that's become a cult classic contains all 37 plays (plus sonnets) in just 97 minutes. 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. 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. For lovers of Shakespeare everywhere.

“What cheek! What nerve! What sheer, heavenly, unadulterated fun!”Sunday Express.
