Described by the Los Angeles Herald as "Shakespeare written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python and performed at the speed of the minute waltz", this hilarious binge of Bard -coming to Sydney courtesy of Lane Cove Theatre Company - is part parody, part tribute, part party trick!
As the comedies aren't anywhere near as funny as the tragedies, all sixteen have been condensed into 'Four Weddings and a Transvestite', the history plays are transformed into a game of football, Othello is performed in rap and Titus Andronicus becomes a TV cookery programme. For the finale, Hamlet is staged first as a psychological exploration of Hamlet's Ego and Ophelia's Id, then performed in a matter of minutes and, for the finale, performed backwards.
A brilliant, multi-talented cast of Eleanor Petricevic, Luke W Shepherd and Logan McArthur are directed through this comic caper by Jess Davis (Manhole, Broken, The Unexpected Guest, The Female of the Species).
