About the Play
This is not the Shakespeare you studied in school—it’s more like Cliff Notes meets Monty Python! This high-speed condensation of all that is Shakespeare includes a heavy dose of impov and audience participation along with plenty of blunders, puns and outrageous impersonations.
After its premier at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1997, it quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, earning the title of London’s longest-running comedy. Fast paced, witty, and physical, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike.
