About this Event

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) is a fast, furious, and laugh-out-loud sprint through the Bard’s best (and weirdest) moments. Expect tragic deaths, wild romances and more ridiculous wigs than a royal court as three performers attempt to tackle every play and sonnet in one whirlwind performance. This play brought to you by Mike Yow and Fire in the Head Productions.

“A madcap condensation that features nonstop laughs. Done at a whirlwind pace and with great delight, they are sure to win over even the most skeptical. And there is no doubt that William Shakespeare himself … would approve.” ⁠—⁠Daily Variety

“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

“Wildly funny. Masterful!” ⁠—⁠The Los Angeles Times

“The funniest show you are likely to see in your entire lifetime.” ⁠—⁠The Montreal Gazette

“Shamelessly heretical!” ⁠—⁠Time Out (London)

“Gloriously, relaxingly funny.” ⁠—⁠The Financial Times

“Shakespeare as it was back in the Bard’s day: bawdy, irreverent, sublimely entertaining.” ⁠—⁠The Miami Herald
