The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) Opens May 17th

[lillibet]

Theatre@First kicks off The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) this Friday. Director Mike Haddad has a new take on the affectionate parody of the Bard oeuvre, fielding a cast of eight of the funniest actors in the Boston theatre scene. Performances run May 17-June 1 at Unity Somerville.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) is a madcap race to perform all of Shakespeare's 37 plays in about 90 minutes. The Reduced Shakespeare Company, an ensemble of eight committed actors, will stop at nothing to achieve this feat... even if it kills them. (And a third of his plays were tragedies, so death is likely.) It's fast-paced fun for Shakespeare nerds and everyone who loves a laugh.
