Reduced Shakespeare to Kick Off Summer 2015 UK Tour
By: BWW News Desk Apr. 15, 2015
Following the success of their UK tours in 2013 and 2014 the Reduced Shakespeare Company are pleased to announce a further 19 dates this Summer by popular demand.
An irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's plays, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) was London's longest-running comedy having clocked a very palpable nine years in London's West End at the Criterion Theatre! 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.
The Reduced Shakespeare Company is a three-man comedy troupe that takes long, serious subjects and reduces them to short, sharp comedies.
Since 1981, 'The Bad Boys of Abridgement' have created eight stage shows, two television specials, several failed TV pilots and numerous radio pieces - all of which have been performed, seen, heard and translated into Klingon the world over.
The company's first three shows, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), The Complete History of America (abridged) and The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged) enjoyed a nine-year run at the Criterion Theatre in Piccadilly Circus. Not only were they London's longest-running comedies, but at one point the Reduced Shakespeare Company had more shows running in the West End than Andrew Lloyd Webber. Some of them were funnier too...
The "other RSC" were last seen in the UK with their highly successful Complete World of Sports (abridged) which toured the country before completing a season in London's West End during the 2012 Olympics.
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, outer-ear disorders, Shakespearean scholars, degrees in Elizabethan history and/or people inclined to motion sickness. The RSC cannot be held responsible for expectant mothers!
