Low(land) Humor… COMING SOON!

Our fans in the lowlands have been clamoring for an RSC return. Well, clamor no more!  The Bad Boys of Abridgment will be bringing humor both low and high to Belgium and Holland for a six week tour of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] from February 21 – March 31.

The play that launched a thousand Reductions!

• The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised]

• TOUR: Belgium / Holland / Netherlands

• US Tour 2011

All 37 Plays in 97 Minutes! An irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard’s plays, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) was London’s longest-running comedy – 10 years in the West End at the Criterion Theatre – and is NOW ON TOUR! Join these madcap men in tights as they weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories and Tragedies in one wild ride that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter.

Warning! This show is a high-speed roller-coaster type condensation of all of Shakespeare’s plays, and is not recommended for people with heart ailments, bladder problems, inner-ear disorders and/or people inclined to motion sickness. The RSC cannot be held responsible for expectant mothers!

Praised by the Los Angeles Times as “wildly funny” and by the Montreal Gazette as “the funniest show you are likely to see in your entire lifetime”.

“Pithier than Python. Irresistible.” New York Times

“A madcap condensation that features non-stop laughs. Done at a whirlwind pace and with great delight, they are sure to win over even the most skeptical. And there is no doubt that William Shakespeare himself… would approve.” Daily Variety
