THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) is a hilarious comedy where three crazy guys set out to present all of Shakespeare’s plays in one hysterical evening—they are, of course “abridged” into comedy sketches full of puns and double entendres. In under two hours, you are treated to a “roast” of The Bard that includes TITUS ANDRONICUS as a cooking show, OTHELLO as a rap song, all sixteen comedies rolled into one, the history plays as a football game, and HAMLET—fast, faster and backwards! The Los Angeles Herald described this play as “Shakespeare as written by Reader’s Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz.”
Starring Wes Whitaker, Zack Meyer, Dan Woods and Lily Blouin. Directed by Jeannie Marlin Woods. Choreography by Candace Winters-March, costumes by Cyndi Lohrmann, set by Anna Sartin.
THE COMPLETE WORKS is available for bookings throughout the western Illinois and Quad Cities regions. Contact Starry Night for information.
