Oklahoma City Rep Presents COMPLETELY HOLLYWOOD, 5/19 & 20
By: BWW News Desk May. 19, 2012
The Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre presents the regional premiere of the hit comedy Completely Hollywood (abridged) from the Reduced Shakespeare Company tonight, May 19 at 7:30 PM and Sunday, May 20 at 1:30 PM.
In this merciless but affectionate satire, The Reduced Shakespeare company sets it comic sites on the lunacy of sports. The result is a tour-de-farce of vaudevillian physical comedy that will delight every non-sports fan in the family.
Completely Hollywood (abridged) is Written by ReEd Martin & Austin Tichenor with Additional Material by Dominic Conti.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the theater...the Reduced Shakespeare Company boldly goes where few would dare -Tinseltown! America's "bad boys of abridgement" take on America's largest cultural and economic export (well, except for weapons) in this seriously silly show biz satire. Get your clapper boards ready.
The RSC rummage through the reels and flick through the films in this riotous carnival of the classics. Giving Hollywood more than just a nip and a tuck, they cut through the celluloid to condense the 186 greatest films in Hollywood's over-100 year history into a complete compilation of classic cinematic cliches - plus a few brand new cliches they just made up.
They've gone Biblical, they've gone historical, now the RSC has gone Completely Hollywood... abridged, of course! Lights! Camera! REDUCTION!
