The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)
by Boerne Community Theatre
May. 31 - Jun. 01 (2015)
Can three guys really cover thirty-seven Shakespeare plays in less than two hours? This fast-firing comedy does just that as it parodies all of the Shakespeare plays (plus the sonnets!) with only three performers in two acts. This play is full of energy as the characters run across the stage and keep you guessing how they will pull off the next play. As the characters are about to come to the end of the first act, they realize they forgot to perform Hamlet. One of the actors becomes nervous and runs out of the theatre with another actor chasing him. The final actor is left to entertain the audience by himself, which he does by telling jokes and calling for the intermission. The missing two actors return and save their companion from reciting all of the sonnets. All three actors then perform their extremely abbreviated version of Hamlet (with a little help from the audience), thus "completing" the canon in only an hour and a half!
Both evenings from 7 p.m.
Three men, ages late teens to 60's. Must be highly comedic, articulate & energetic!
