The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [Revised][Revised Again]
By Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield
This fast-paced, high-energy comedy condenses the entire Shakespearean canon into a single, wildly entertaining performance.

Whether you know Shakespeare well or not at all, this production invites you to rediscover the Bard in a way that is bold, accessible, and laugh-out-loud funny.
