IN COOPERATION WITH WESTMINSTER COMMUNITY THEATRE,ALCHEMY THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS: "THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE; ABRIDGED!" STARING JEFF LOWE, DANIEL CONDER, & JON SPARKS.
This fast paced romp through all of Shakespeare's hefty body of work will leave your sides hurting from laughing, your head spinning from the costume changes, and finally; wanting to see it again! In this madcap comedy, three guys in tights set out to perform all 37 of the Bard's plays in costume in less than 100 minutes -- with hilarious results. Shakespeare's classics undergo some changes, of course. Titus Andronicus becomes a cooking show, Othello is summarized in rap, the authentically Scottish tragedy Macbeth turns into a broad comedy and Hamlet explores the depth and breadth of the Bard's masterpiece from several comedic angles, ending up with a version lasting less than a minute. And that's just the beginning. Created by the Reduced Shakespeare Company and first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the show ran for almost a decade in London and has since traveled all over the world.
General admission, $30.00 at the door. Available on Goldstar.
