Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) - DVD
Filmed in front of a live audience!
The record breaking hit! All 37 Plays in 97 Minutes!
Life is short. The complete works of Shakespeare are long. To the rescue: The Reduced Shakespeare Company, the three-man comedy troupe known for fast, funny, physical condensations of real serious stuff.
They wrap up the Bards outsized oeuvre in 90 roller-coaster, rib tickling 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). You see Othello as a rap song, Titus Andronicus as a cooking show, and the show’s unforgettable finale - Hamlet - told with the help of audience members and lascivious sock puppets.
Warning!: This show is a high-speed roller-coaster type condensation of all of Shakespeare's plays, and is not recommended for people with heart ailments, bladder problems, inner-ear disorders and/or people inclined to motion sickness. The RSC cannot be held responsible for expectant mothers.
