RSC Invades Britain!
On 18 February, the Reduced Shakespeare Company kicks off a four-month UK tour of the show that started it all, directed by founding member Adam Long. We’ll hit 29 cities, with hopefully more to come. The RSC is legendary in Britain, where three RSC shows ran in repertory at The Criterion Theatre in London for nearly ten years – the longest running comedies in the history of The West End. The London Times says the company induces, “Stupendous, anchorless joy!”

Everything You’ve Always Wanted To Know About The Reduced Shakespeare Company*

February also sees the publication by Arden Shakespeare of “Shakespeare in the Theatre: Reduced Shakespeare Company” by Ronan Hatfull, the first dedicated historical study of the Reduced Shakespeare Company. The Reduced Shakespeare Company represent an American tale of how a small-scale, open-air troupe specializing in fast-paced, irreverent reductions of prominent topics have, since their formation in 1981, gradually expanded into a global theatre brand whose work has been translated into thirty-eight languages. This book presents a critical analysis of the company's signature blend of audience interaction, metatheatre, parody, pop culture references, Shakespearean intertextuality and vaudevillian humor.

February 2 marks the 1000th episode of the Reduced Shakespeare Company Podcast, the world’s longest-running weekly theatre podcast, and Austin Tichenor, co-artistic director of the Reduced Shakespeare Company (RSC) and producer and host of the RSC Podcast, commemorated the occasion with a special live conversation with Mick Napier and Jennifer Estlin, the founder and directors of Chicago’s famed Annoyance Theatre. The RSC Podcast, which debuted in 2006 and has never missed a week in 20 years, demystifies the creative process through informal conversations with guests ranging from Brian Dennehy to ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic and MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell; actors and comedians Rachel Dratch, Matt Walsh, JK Simmons, and Suzy Nakamura; Tony-winning directors Mary Zimmerman and Robert Falls; playwrights Lauren Gunderson, Sarah Ruhl, and Rajiv Joseph; and starship captains Elizabeth Dennehy and Scott Bakula.
