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 us 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.

Production dates: Feb. 11-20
