Join these madcap actors in tights and sneakers as they weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies in one wild ride that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter. Warning! This show is a high-speed roller-coaster type condensation of all of Shakespeare’s plays, and is not recommended for people with heart ailments, bladder problems, inner-ear disorders, and/or people inclined to motion sickness or genuine scholarship.
Praised by the Los Angeles Times as “wildly funny” and by the Montreal Gazette as “the funniest show you are likely to see in your entire lifetime,” Complete Works (abridged) has also been praised by these very important-sounding newspapers and broadcasts:
“Pithier than Python. Irresistible.” – The New York Times
“If you like Shakespeare, you’ll like this show. If you hate Shakespeare, you’ll love this show!” – The Today Show
“Stupendous, anchorless joy!” – The London Times
“We are really really good. We might not get all the words right, or the genders, or the stories…but we are soooooooo good.” – actors Amelia, David, and Sam
