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.

The Merchant of Venice

dlr Mill Theatre

dlr Mill Theatre present The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare A deal gone very wrong. “If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.” In Shakespeare’s uncompromising and problematic play, the contempt hurled at the ‘other’, festers and grows. In a world where racial prejudices, mistrust, and the engrained belief systems of two opposing traditions come to a boiling point. Revenge is the currency used to right a wrong. Mercy is in short supply. dlr Mill Theatre bring an exciting, contemporary, and engaging abridged 90-minute
