Reduced Shakespeare Company: William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged) Richmond Theatre
Tuesday 18 April
Ninety minutes of Shakespearean mayhem from three Americans wearing trainers...All of the Bard’s greatest characters and plots feature in this abridged version of 37 plays in a nod to William Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary performed by the absolute masters of reimagining Shakespeare, the Reduced Shakespeare Company. The play is on its debut UK tour, following world premiere seasons at the prestigious Folger Shakespeare Library and the Edinburgh Fringe. The performance is perhaps best summed up by this quotation from The Today Show: “If you like Shakespeare, you’ll love this show. If you hate Shakespeare, you’ll love this show!”
