The cultural touchstone that is THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) was born when three inspired, charismatic comics, having honed their pass-the-hat act at Renaissance fairs, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, earning the title of London’s longest-running comedy after a decade at the Criterion Theatre. THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) is one of the world’s most frequently produced plays and has been translated into several dozen languages. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, meant to be performed in 97 minutes, by three actors. Fast paced, witty, and physical, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike. The original version was followed by the 2010 REVISED version, and this latest REVISED AGAIN version includes changes that celebrate and encourage greater diversity and inclusivity in today’s theater!
Gateway Playhouse is at 738 Bay Avenue, Somers Point, NJ.

Because of our longevity and reputation, we are able to attract a high caliber of professional directors, performers, musicians and technicians from New York City and around the country. All of our actors are professional performers, most are members of Actors Equity Association, the union of professional actors and stage managers. Our musicians (8-12 per show) are members of The American Federation of Musicians (Local 802) and we employ SSDC© directors (Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers) and USA© designers (United Scenic Artists). Many of our actors, technicians, musicians, and other staff members have worked on Broadway, while others go on to Broadway and National Tours after leaving Gateway, and many return in between.
