"What the "Daily Show" might be like if it were hosted by the Marx Brothers." Boston Herald
600 Years of History
in 6000 seconds! From Washington to Watergate, yea verily
from the Bering Straits to Baghdad, from New World to New
World Order, the three cultural guerillas of the Reduced
Shakespeare Company will take you on a ninety minute rollercoaster
ride through the glorious quagmire that is American History.
The RSC tackles such controversial questions as: Who really discovered America? Why did Abe Lincoln
free the slaves? How many Democrats does it take
to screw in a lightbulb? History is normally written by the
winners... now it's the RSC's turn.
"An apt description of what the company does is intellectual vaudeville. They are smart, cheeky clowns who present themselves as a collective repository for most of American mass culture." Stephen Holden - New York Times
"The Reduced Shakespeare Company cheerfully run riot over 500 years of our country's history... they mine dozens of landmark events and trends for comic gold. The trio's nimble tongues, rubber-limbed pratfalls and obvious street-performer smarts make this a merry, nose-tweaking outing." Washington Post
"History has never been this much fun. Or as delightfully mutilated." Bill Brownstein - Montreal Gazette
