About this product
Product Information
The complete works of William Shakespeare, which total 37 plays (17 comedies, 10 histories, and 10 tragedies), are here performed by The Reduced Shakespeare Company in only 90 minutes. The trio warms up with a rollicking send-up of ROMEO AND JULIET, and then breeze through all 17 comedies at once in order to have more time lampooning the tragedies and historical plays. Witness OTHELLO turned into a rap, TITUS ANDRONICUS as a cooking show, a sock puppet version of HAMLET, and much more. Why? Because life is short and the complete works of William Shakespeare are long. This video release contains footage not shown in the original PBS broadcast.Product Identifiers

Fun look at Shakespeare's plays in a mix of fun and genuine information.
I came across this at the library years ago and enjoyed it so much I finally treated myself to a copy of my very own. It is rapid fire fun and has some good information as well. The talents of the presenters are amazing, and like Shakespeare's plays, this live and on stage performance has a mix of comedy, drama, pathos, and a touch of the bawdy here and there. If you know much at all about Shakespeare, this will be great fun. If you know virtually nothing about Shakespeare, it is still a fun outing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Entertainment Was Not Abridged
This stage comedy in 2001 by three Shakespeare scholar - goofballs was hilarious! Audience participation added to the funny business. Great stuff never goes out of date.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Hilarious fun
This is hilarious fun and had me laughing all the way through. Even those who think Shakespeare is boring and avoid it, will enjoy this one. Some familiarity with the plays adds to the experience, but is not necessary. There are only three actors in this show and they do a great job of entertaining the audience. Just be aware, this is not traditional Shakespeare. Titus Andronicus is a cooking show.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Funny, Funny, Funny
I didn't know what to expect when I bought this DVD but it's so hilarious in the silliest way. This isn't something you're going to want to watch if you're too serious about Shakespeare. I really enjoyed these scripts and would highly recommend them.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
