The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

One of the world’s most produced plays, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) has had Shakespeare lovers and haters alike rolling in the aisles (and maybe rolling their eyes) as every timeless tale is frantically recreated by three madcap thespians in tights in a fast and furious hour-and-a-half. All 37 of The Bard’s plays (and maybe a sonnet or two) get the spotlight in this irreverent, unpredictable comedy Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield.  The University of South Carolina Department of Theatre and Dance presents The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), directed by Dustin Whitehead, February 5th through 13th at Longstreet Theatre in Columbia.

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