About the show:
THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) was born when three comics, having honed their at Renaissance fairs, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, meant to be performed in 97 minutes by three actors. Fast paced, witty, and physical, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike.
The original version was followed by the 2010 REVISED version, and this latest REVISED AGAIN version includes changes that celebrate and encourage greater diversity and inclusivity in today’s theater!
The Grand belongs to everyone in the community. The Board of Directors and administration continue to foster inclusion in every facet of the organization, offering opportunities for participation to artists, patrons, volunteers, staff, and board members.
