The Reduced Shakespeare Company – The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

Life is short. The complete works of Shakespeare are long. To rescue comes this three-man comedy troupe known for their fast, funny, and physical condensations of real serious stuff. They wrap up the Bard’s complete works in just 90 minutes. After warming up with a nothing-is-sacred send-up of “Romeo and Juliet,” they’re off, dispensing with the comedies in one fell swoop (because the tragedies are funnier). Contains material not seen on the PBS broadcast.
