The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) returns to West End

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) is returning to London's West End. It is at the Arts Theatre from 12 June 2007 - booking to 23 Sep 2007.

A company of three perform 37 Shakespeare plays in 97 minutes!

"Take a look at 'Hamlet' performed forwards, backwards and sideways, 'Titus Andronicus' as a TV cookery programme and a rap 'Othello'. And as the comedies aren't anywhere near as funny as the tragedies, all 16 are condensed into 'Four Weddings and a Transvestite'."

This comedy was last in the west end in April 2005, where it had a 9 year run at the Criterion Theatre. That run was produced by The Reduced Shakespeare Company, however this production at the Arts Theatre is a new staging by Mark Goucher, Act Productions and Wimpole Theatre in association with the Arts Theatre.
