The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged

California Theatre Center (CTC)

June 1-July 22, 2006

Avg. Event Rating (4.5 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Returning to Sunnyvale by popular demand! For any of you who thought that Shakespeare was either long or tedious, there is a great surprise in store for you this summer. In this, London’s longest running comedy, you can witness all 37 plays of Shakespeare as well as 154 sonnets in under two hours. Impossible, you say! Shakespeare said that “brevity is the soul of wit” and this madcap comedy will illustrate his point. Developed by a comedy troupe that excels in taking long, serious material and developing it into short, sharp, informed hilarity, this production gives new meaning to fast-paced comedy. If you are seeking laughter and the funniest night you’ll ever have in the theatre, this is the show for you!

    I saw a sample of this show at their performance for the Santana Row Performing Arts Day, and the three actors in the show were hilarious. It's a quick-paced show, and these guys have the right chemistry to pull it off brilliantly. I've seen the show (by another theatre company) before, and had a great time - Shakespeare doesn't have to be stuffy! Collapse
