Prepare for a theatrical whirlwind unlike any other as the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre invites you to fasten your seatbelts for “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]”! This high-energy, slapstick rollercoaster ride is a comedic masterpiece, ingeniously condensing Shakespeare’s entire dramatic canon into one uproarious, fast-paced, and utterly irreverent evening. Whether you adore the Bard or find his works a bit daunting, this show promises an experience that will leave you breathless with laughter.
Conceived by the brilliant minds of Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield, with new revisions for this production, this legendary comedy has delighted audiences worldwide. Imagine just three madcap actors hilariously scampering their way through all of Shakespeare’s comedies, tragedies, histories, and romances – from the grand soliloquies to the epic battles, all delivered with an unparalleled blend of wit, physical comedy, and lightning-fast costume changes. It’s an act of comedic genius that has been hailed for its irresistible charm and anchorless joy.
This show is a testament to the fact that Shakespeare can be both profound and profoundly funny. The quick-witted dialogue and relentless pace keep the audience engaged from start to finish, proving that you don’t need a degree in Elizabethan history to appreciate the brilliance (and absurdity) of these timeless plays. It’s a fresh, accessible, and utterly hysterical take on classical theater that promises a night of pure, unadulterated entertainment.
