The Reduced Shakespeare Company's the Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) - Summary
The Reduced Shakespeare Company's production condenses all 37 of Shakespeare's plays into a comedic two-hour performance featuring three actors using props, audience interaction, and humor to present abbreviated versions of the Bard's entire repertoire.
Key Ideas
Reverence and Ridicule
While the play is a parody, it's built on a foundation of genuine love and respect for Shakespeare's work. The actors display an impressive familiarity with the source material, allowing them to cleverly twist and subvert familiar plots and characters.
Theatrical Experimentation
The play is a celebration of theatrical creativity and breaking conventions. Minimalist sets, cross-dressing, audience participation, and anachronistic humor abound. This playful approach to theater emphasizes the joy of performance and the power of imagination.
Accessibility of Shakespeare
By condensing and injecting humor into Shakespeare's work, the Reduced Shakespeare Company makes the Bard's often intimidating body of work accessible to a wider audience. The play demystifies Shakespeare, making his stories and language engaging and entertaining.
FAQ's
Absolutely not! While knowledge of Shakespeare enhances the experience, the play stands on its own as a hilarious comedy, enjoyable by audiences of all backgrounds.
While appropriate for teenagers and adults, some of the humor may go over younger children's heads.
"Faithful" might not be the right word. This play is a fast-paced, comedic parody of Shakespeare's works, taking creative liberties to condense and reimagine the original plays for humor.
